Which part is confusing to you? Your whole post is useless and factually incorrect because you make generalization where nuance apply.

@Charlie *******

The distinction/nuance between each airport and each border was not part of your initial post. I could make a spreadsheet of which airport always vs sometimes vs never ask, and same with the borders, but the people who never carry the "proof of" mostly have my level of knowledge so they would not benefit anyways. I have not carry any proof of since 2015, been here since 2012. Never been questioned nor ask any of the 3 proof of, and got married to my Thai wife 2 years ago.

One of the reason why such confusion happens (lack of nuance) is because most people who preach having all 3 "proof of" are using BKK as a barometer (this is why some people use the term "requirement"). BKK airport is the strictest in Thailand (by far). So a lot of people here got questioned in BKK airport, denied, or asked all 3 proof of. So now they are using BKK as the norm or the reason why "better be safe than sorry".

Most people who enter by air will do from BKK so there is a selection bias. But if you enter from let say Hat Yai, it's a piece of cake. You may ask how the fuck can you do UK to Hat Yai, you can't, but what you can do is UK to Malaysia, than to Hat Yai. I did this a few times just to avoid BKK airport (not from UK but you get my point). And it was overall cheaper $$ because Malaysian airlines are cheap.

Your post lack nuance and your interpretation of a believer vs non-believer is also too general. Each airport and border will have a different level of scrunity from always asking all 3 proof of to never ask, to everything in the middle. For example, in BKK airport, they ask a lot, but in Nong Khai or Mukdahan border, they never ask. The word "never" doesn't imply "rarely", it truly mean never as in "no reported case of anyone being ask any of the 3 proof of".

To be fair, I should not say never, but you have more chance to get hit by lightning than being ask for 20k baht while entering Thailand from Laos.

You either misread my comment, didn't read it fully, or lack knowledge. I'm talking about Laos only. There is no such thing as being ask 20k baht at any entry into Thailand from Laos. What the law says is irrelevant because it has never been enforced at such borders. The word never is important, it's not rarely, it's never. Malaysia and Cambodia is another story, but Laos they do not enforce that law ever. I have cross into Laos and back more than 20 times, and I live near the border. I have neither seen or hear anyone who have been ask, nor read it anywhere. It's not a thing that they do while entering from Laos. You can counter by providing example of people that were ask, but you won't find any because it's not a thing.

Why do you need 20k baht? If you mean the "20k baht proof of fund requirement to get back into Thailand", it's fake news. I've border bounce that border around 20 times in the last 10 years and I've never once being asked nor known anyone who have been asked. They do not ask any question at that border, nor care about your passport history of shady visas or what's not. Nong Khai and Mukdahan are the same in that regard, hassle free border to border bounce from.

TVC is Thai Visa Centre.

You said "woman foreigner they never ask for financial but I also got a single entry non-o", this can imply that if you had ask for a multi entry they may have asked. Your wording was a bit confusing because its as if the single entry was important which it wasnt. There is no proof of funds for you regardless single vs multi entry.

Women married to Thai men don't need financial requirement. Being like this since forever.

This is only true for multi entry, not single entry non-O.
