TLDR : Answer Summary
Entering Thailand with a Non-O visa generally requires only a valid passport with at least 6 months of validity left. Travelers may also be expected to have some financial means, such as 20,000 Thai Baht in cash, although this is rarely checked. It's advisable for travelers on a Non-O visa to have a return flight or onward ticket and proof of accommodation. Since many requirements can vary based on the immigration officer, it's important to stay informed and check the latest government sources for any specific regulations.

this is the same with opening a bank account. a couple of banks of the same branch will turn you down for varied different reasons and then suddenly you will get a branch of the same back doing it like easy peasy. Nothing really seems to be a uniform standard. So always expect the unexpected

Having read all this - and similar posts over the years - there is one cardinal rule that should be posted in bold type at the top of this and other sites, namely: there are immigration rules and there are immigration officers, and rarely the twain do meet, as they say. 20k needed? Sometimes. Return ticket? Sometimes. Insurance? Sometimes. Lease agreement? Sometimes. Owners house book/ID? Sometimes. Dox written in black ink? Sometimes. Photo outside your accommodation? Sometimes. Map to Immigration? Sometimes. And so it will go on, to the end of time…

On a Non-O visa, you just need a place to stay and some money (20k THB). Actually unlikely that they will ask to see the money. If it is a single entry Non-O they might want to see a return ticket (or onward ticket). All Covid restrictions have been liftet.

Just a passport. They don't even use the arrival card any more

You're supposed to have 20,000 Thai Baht in cash on you to enter Thailand, but they never check unless they don't like you and want a reason to prevent you from entering (such as if you had a number of visas back to back.)
The OP asked about a "non O" visa. The law (link posted above) says "non-immigrant visa" without further restriction.

I can’t believe some of the remarks made to someone when they ask a perfectly feasible question! I think the men here in Thailand are old and decrepit with no life or just plain bloody rude.. no wonder most of them are alone old and single.. go live instead of making unnecessary remarks to people’s posts !

If you come as a tourist you get 45 days and can extend 30 more, only need pasport.
If you come with a visa (O,OA, E, …..and so on) it’s different….so depends on what you want, and your age . Give some more information and you get specific answers
no problem for entering on O visa, does she have the required money on the bank or prove of income? In Suvarnabhumi no problem just show pasport, must be valid for up to 6 months.
perhaps the OP is an elderly person who doesn't spend their life on FB or someone who has an actual life that doesn't involve reading every post on here. Jeez, have some compassion and understanding. An ego is a nasty thing
look at their profile before you make assumptions. So they seek out a FB group before going to the embassy web sight? Do you know how many idiots don't even know what they are talking about in this group? They think because they came to Thailand once they are an expert. She needs to do more research than just FB.
You've been a member of this group for almost a year. Do you not read the posts? This question is asked almost every day. Plus, it is on the Thai embassy website. Go to the source.
10 gold bars and a million dollars cash to be converted to Thai baht on arrival.

It kind of depends on which country you're coming from. If you're coming from the UK, United States, and Canada you just have to check in with immigration and get your passport stamped. Most all of the restrictions have been removed. 👍👍👍
Honestly you will do much better to Google this and find a reputable source. I’m not shaming you for asking here as I’m sure some expat here will surely do bc that makes them feel big or something 🙄, but you’re going to likely get conflicting advice that’ll just waste your time. Just find a reputable government source online; the Thai government page or your home country’s travel page should have it. Take care and have a nice trip 🥳
probably less characters needed to have given an answer....
The group is 'Thai Visa advice and everything else' after all, why not post in a group. If it disturbs you so much, you feel the need to refer them to Google, perhaps try scrolling by
