ORIGINAL POSTER

Hi all, my daughter, boyfriend and their daughter (then 1 year and 6 months) come to visit me in a couple of months. All Dutch so enter with no visa on 30 days exempt entry. Hotelbooking for 2 or 3 nights in BKK and their flight back home is no problem. Only on holiday 2-3 weeks. You think it's wise that they also have cash (2x about 600€ ?) with them ? First time Thailand ever.

Thanks !!
