Update -
Today I visited the immigration offices in Bangkok to replace the stamp in my passport. I was required to show my bank book (for the 800K THB). An attempt to explain that it is not mentioned anywhere that the bank book must be presented-didn't help.
The IO clearly explained - every arrival at the immigration offices requires arrival with the bank book to prove that you have the 800K in the bank! It was not familiar to me, so I will have to go again tomorrow.
==========
My current passport was destroyed.
I am in the process of getting a new passport this week through the embassy.
What should I do about the visa in the old passport? (OA)
Thanks!
