ORIGINAL POSTER

Hello! Just reporting another case of refusal of entry at Suvarnabhumi due to inability to show 20k baht in cash for visa exempt entry. This happened to a friend 2 hours ago and is forced to buy a plane ticket for the next flight back home.

Im sure Tod Daniels can use this as another example (or warning, more likely).
