@Dan *******

yes. They reimburse. You can think whatever you want, including apparently believing you know better than someone with personal experience.

@Stuart ********

Meanwhile, a credit card would be rather silly :-). That's not proof of funds. That's proof of credit.

@Stuart ********

don't they also have ATMs at the airport? I haven't been to Thailand since 2020 (will be shortly) and I traveled throughout SE Asia, so it's all getting blended together, but I thought there were ATMs right there. I just don't see this presenting a big problem. I don't see them stopping someone from coming in because they have chosen not to carry cash around.

Phil Jones the people I’ve overheard complaining about the money they’ve “lost” because they chose to carry it and it was stolen are the stupid ones IMO. I have four ATM cards. All rebate all ATM fees and have no foreign transaction fees. I choose my accounts based upon my nomadic lifestyle and I never carry large sums of cash. I don’t need to worry about what I hold tight, 😂. Doing so is also much harder with women’s attire, btw.

@Aimee ***********************

exactly. That’s what I figure I would do.

Martyn Rollinson I’m not concerned, but you do you.

@Alan *****

I have been to Thailand numerous times. I use ATM machines to get cash as needed. My credit unions reimburse me for all fees. I carry very little cash with me. I said I didn’t want to carry 20K baht and be a target. I guess I wasn’t clear enough. I don’t religiously oppose cash altogether.

@Martyn **********

I don’t like carrying cash…period. The issue is not having the money. The issue is carrying 20K in cash.

@Lynnette ******

they are required to buy insurance for certain types of visas…FACT. Just stop.

@Lynnette ******

I’m aware, but the in-country visa has its own requirements that are becoming harder and harder to meet (most especially opening a bank account). The point of my comment is not that there aren’t other options. 🤦‍♀️
