I've read several times about a 20,000 Baht requirement when entering Thailand. Is that for specific Visas?
If it only applies to specific Visas, do Immigration Officers always ask about it, or is it at the discretion of individual Officers?
Is one supposed to have that can to pay for accommodation, transport and spending, or what specifically is the reason?
I visited Thailand for the first time last October (only overseas holiday apart from a quick 5 night visit to The Philippines over a decade ago), on what I now understand to be known as "Visa Exempt". I wasn't asked upon entry to Thailand how much money, cash or otherwise, I had available or with me for my holiday. I had booked my accommodation online in advance. I am intending to return to Thailand to visit my Thai ladyfriend in November this year and wonder if that 20k requirement is something that I need to take into account.
