What is the limit on GBP cash that can be taken out of Thailand?
Hello is there a limit of gbp to take out of Thailand is £1000 ok
Answer summary
In Thailand, you can legally carry out £1,000 without issues. The general limit without needing to declare is $20,000 USD or its equivalent in foreign currency, which translates to approximately £15,000. Specifically, travelers can carry up to 500,000 THB if carrying Thai baht to bonded countries, but only 50,000 THB to other destinations. Most comments confirm that £1,000 is well within the allowable limits. Some users humorously mentioned their experiences with regulations but stressed the importance of being aware of customs rules about currency limits.

The limit before you have to declare for foreign currencies is 20k USD or equivalent. That's £15k at the moment. You can take above this, just have to declare it. THB limit is much lower, 50k THB other than to neighbouring countries.

According to wise.com:The same rules apply for taking cash out of Thailand as for bringing it in. You can take up to $20,000 USD or the currency equivalent out of the country.1
If you’re carrying Thai baht, you can take up to 500,000 baht to any of Thailand’s bonded countries and up to 50,000 baht to any other destination.1
Take anything above that sum, and you’ll need to make a customs declaration.

20k USD or equivalent foreign currency for Thailand, and you can take more than that if you declare it. The limit is lower for THB, 50k other than to neighbouring countries.Peter **********
@Kraig ******
What are the limits? According to Thailand's official rules, you can bring up to $20,000 USD or the currency equivalent into the country before you have to declare it to customs. If you're bringing Thai baht (THB) into the country rather than a foreign currency, the most you can carry with you is 500,000 THB.***********************************************************************

@Jeff ******
what kind of answer is thar? He asked if he can legally carry 1000 pounds to Britain. Great to be informed about the siffer-dogs, though. Any special breed I should look out for. Cheers, I mean no harm I just want people to read the question before they answer. Have a good one! (Yankee for all the best)🌴🥸Mdl *****
@Erik **********
they dont specify breeds to specific contraband , one retriever might detect drugs, its sister might detect explosives , then a springer might detect money but her brother might detect food , you know
