What should I know about re-entering Thailand after visiting Laos regarding onward flights and visa cash requirements?
THIM and TDAC notice
Need a clearer THIM and TDAC explanation? Read the THIM guide on thim.in.th.
Just a couple of quick notes as I'm just back from Laos. Been many times before covid flying one way and was never asked to show anything. But this time my paranoia made me book an onward flight. Good things as I was asked during check in with Lao Airlines at Swampy. They also asked to see cash enough for the visa. 1700 baht lol.
As I was sat in Laos preparing to attempt my Thai re entry, I started to look at the TDAC thingy. In general, I think it works quite well. What frustrated me was the country selectors (there are two on the way towards submission.) They're an absolute mess! Country codes makes no sense, countries doesn't seem to be in any semblance of order, auto suggestion if you just start with like "D" didn't seem to work. So I would suggest starting a few days before intended arrival.
Oh, and Beerlao + pizza at Tyson remains as tasty as always (shame about Bor Pen Yang, though).
Cheers!

That's nationality. That selector is easier as it's sensibly sorted. The problems I had was with the country selectors.
