What are the 3 Proofs required for entering Thailand on a visa-exempt basis?
I just arrived from Taipei to Chiang Mai 12/13/26 11:00.
The airport was not crowded.
Immigration had many officers waiting for us.
I showed the officer my DTV Visa stapled in the passport.
He asked no questions, smiled and said “ Welcome to Thailand."
I checked my passport and was correctly stamped in for 180 days.
NOTE: there was a typed document in multiple languages pasted on the immigration window saying, “Please show your hotel or address where you will be staying".
Remember this is one of the "3 Proofs"that we hear about. I was not asked but I had a reservation for a $4 hotel.
How many of you remember the other 2 "Proofs"?

Answer summary
After arriving in Chiang Mai from Taipei and going through immigration, the individual shared their experience regarding the entry formalities with a DTV Visa. Although they were not specifically asked to provide additional documentation beyond the visa, a notice at immigration mentioned the requirement to show proof of accommodation. The post invites others to recall the other two 'Proofs' that are typically required for visa-exempt entries to Thailand, which include having a certain amount of cash and a ticket out of Thailand.

Those 3 requirements are for visa-exempt entries, and not for people who have a visa.

and what will you have to show if you don't know yet where you will sleep, because you intend to do a walk-in among the many guesthouses near the Loy Kroh ?
