Do I need to show proof of funds when entering Thailand on a tourist visa?

Craig *******

yes but anyone who wants to overstay just has to buy a return ticket (cost is not much more than one way), then they don't use it. A holder of a one way ticket likely indicates someone of higher means who chooses flexibility over saving money. For me, 1 way = 1000, return = 1200

I wonder why they bother? Do they actually get a lot ppl who arrive in Thailand but then run out of money?? And what does 20k THB prove? Same as a return ticket - it proves nothing since there is no guarantee you'll actually board your flight.

@Stuart ********

that is a rule from the 60's before ATMs, debit, credit cards, digital anything existed. Yes it's still on the books as a rule, but there is no chance they will ask. Yet whenever this question is asked the sticklers insist on pointing it out LOL
