Do tourists need to carry 20,000 THB in cash when entering Thailand, or can a credit card suffice?
Jim ********
I have been asked once in 15 years of travelling to Thailand. I didn’t have 20k cash on me so showed them my bank account and they were more than happy that I had sufficient funds for my trip
