Hello I'm going to Thailand in a few days and have just heard about proof of funds? I'd be asked if I have 10,000 baht I'm only going for 27 days is this a genuine rule?
TLDR : Answer Summary
When entering Thailand without a visa, travelers might be required to show proof of funds. The general requirement is 20,000 baht (40,000 baht for families) in cash or its equivalent in a major currency. This rule applies mainly to those entering visa-exempt. However, many travelers report not being asked for these funds upon entry. Besides proof of funds, travelers should also have proof of onward travel and lodging reservations, as these are frequently checked to ensure compliance with immigration regulations. The enforcement of these rules can vary, and many expats have traveled without ever being asked for proof of funds.
