yes, I don’t smoke, but some Thai officer’s patrolling are looking to confiscate cigarettes ( illegally). The Thai news channels were exposing the scam and shaming the officers.

I have been stopped and searched 3 times asking for cigarettes.

@Andy ******

gotcha. I’ve only just seen his post when I started typing there wasn’t a single comment on this thread now it’s flooding 💁😂😂

@Kevin *****

yes ❤️ I’ve been asked if I’m carrying cigarettes many times, (if you know, you know 🙃) but never cash and that’s a good thing for me, I’ve always carried too much to avoid bank charges. It’s a nightmare getting unspoilt notes these days too.

@Lynnette ******

I didn’t say there wasn’t a rule, I said I’ve never been asked. 💁

@Andy ******

yes I’m well aware you need a return or onward ticket lovely I’ve a house out there for 18 years. I married Thai, as did my father and brother. The question was about carrying funds not tickets.

@Harry ********

I had a house built on my wife’s land 18 years ago, cost me 7GBP huge house, 3 giant bedrooms enormous kitchen. Etc. so I’ve never needed to rent. I’m told that if we sell now it would fetch around 1 million baht. Thai villagers want our land it’s well placed with the paddies, river and schools. It’s in Udon Thani though and my heart is further south. The family love the house and so I extended it, property is cheaper to build than buy unless your buying a repossession.

Must be a new thing I’ve been going for 19 years I’ve never been asked once 😳
