TLDR : Answer Summary
You can bring up to $20,000 USD or its equivalent in foreign currency into Thailand without needing to declare it to customs. If you are bringing Thai Baht (THB), the limit is 500,000 THB. However, different countries may have their own cash limits that need to be adhered to when leaving your home country. Travelers are advised to keep proof of the origin of the funds, such as withdrawal slips, especially when traveling through customs in their home country.

There's no limit, but any more than $20,000 USD needs to be declared

Not sure if you should travel internationally if you utilize social media as a source for information, but it’s $250,000 USD. Trust me.

You can bring as much as you want. You are only required to report any amount over the equivalent of US$20,000 on your customs entry form.

You can bring 5 million USD in a suitcase if you want. Who cares if you have to declare it or not. Unless you didn’t pay taxes and you’re running from the law. US Customs tells everyone before they board the plane to Thailand you can bring as much as you want , just have to declare it if over

Thai law $20,000 USD or equivalent, without declaring it. Your countries laws maybe a different amount. Ex. USA is $10,000 without declaring it.

 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.1

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.1

 You must declare cash of £10,000 or more to UK customs if you're carrying it between Great Britain (England, Scotland and Wales) and a country outside the UK. If you're travelling as a family or group with more than £10,000 in total (even if individuals are carrying less than that) you still need to make a declaration.4 Jul 2023
