Just a heads up on my sons international arrival at Don Mueang airport 2 days ago . ..he arrived 09.30hrs and went through immigration and got his 30 day stamp.. no questions..not asked to show funds...and he was through to me in at the meeting point in 20 minutes with his bags...super quick and efficient.

most people who do not have extensive histories of living here on back-2-back visa exempt or tourist visa entries are not questioned at all.

Make certain that you get and fill out the form on the plane ✈️.

Put in passport on photo page.

Keep safe I put in top pocket of my shirt 👚 and transfer to small zip compartment on my carry on rucksack 🎒.

Keep cash safe and carry it safe never loose sight of either. Crisp English notes get the best exchange rate but do not use Airport booths.

Carry a card for emergencies keep in safe in your room with passport and cash 💰 in the room safe if you get one.

Do not stick it under your pillow !!!

My mother had all cash jewelry and passports stolen from under her pillow by an intruder while she was sleeping !!!

Happy Landings

Happy 😊Stay
