There's lots to do but if you just want to hang out with other Farangs in tourist bars then you'll be disappointed

@Tod ********

hi Todd, what constitutes proof? I stay with GF at her condo (she owns it). Would a letter from her confirming that I am her guest be ok?

@Robert *********

it's military rule, they can throw you in jail for no reason if they want.....if you worry about crazy extreme stuff like that then Thailand is not for you. Foreigners from non-1st world countries do in fact get spot checked for this but if you are from Europe, NA, Oz, NZ, etc its nothing to be concerned with (though who wouldn't have at least 20k THB equivalent on them anyways?)

@Richard ******

yes true but what are they going to do, turn you around and put you on a flight back home? Not a chance.

It's an ancient rule that pre-dates credit cards, smart phones, online banking, ATM's etc. So no longer enforced ......it's a nothing burger
