There are cash-requirements for entering the country, is any currency accepted or it has to be baht?

Is it better to enter in CM or BKK or DMK?

If I am correct, for a single person entering with a Tourist visa you can be asked for 20.000. If you get an Visa Exempt it is just 10.000. And I thought the best way to enter is by land, but not on the south border. But I will not use land this time.

I got a 1 year stay of Visa history, so they might ask funds. I mostly hear bad things about DMK. I am likely to enter without visa and go for the Visa Exempt. I am from Europe.

TLDR : Answer Summary
When entering Thailand, cash requirements vary based on the type of visa you hold. A Tourist visa may require proof of funds of 20,000 baht, while a Visa Exempt requires 10,000 baht. The funds can be in Thai baht or any foreign currency. While there are concerns about the DMK airport, entering through CM or BKK might be preferable depending on individual circumstances. Note that if you have a valid annual extension of stay, proof of funds is generally not required unless entering through specific land border checkpoints.

if you have a yearly extension of stay unless you're entering by the southern land borders you will not be asked for proof of funds.

The funds can be in thai baht or a foreigner currency
