TLDR : Answer Summary

The entry experience at the Savannakhet/Mukdahan border can vary significantly based on individual circumstances and the immigration officer on duty. Travelers with a Multiple Entry visa based on marriage may be asked to show around 20,000 baht in cash and may face a few questions regarding their residence and activities in Thailand. However, there are reports of travelers experiencing no inquiries or requests for documentation at all. It is advisable for the traveler to be prepared, but not overly concerned, as practices seem to differ widely.

Thai Immigration can ask questions, it is part of their job description to check. If a person get asked or not is totally the decision of the Immigration Officer. What ever happens to other people, or what ever happens in the past is no guarantee that an Immigration Officer will or will not ask. It is always a case to case decision, that's why you always hand over your passport by yourself. Good luck.

it depends on the officer you find, but with a visa non O based on marriage or family, they can ask for the sum of 20,000 baht in cash. But not always. to limit a few questions about what you do and where you live..do not ask for an exit flight, because you are no longer a tourist, but you have a residence permit in this case
