Hi Lester,,I live in Nong bua lamphu, have for many years. We have our own fb group if you'd like to ask any locals if they've ever been told same has you.
Or, if you need any help in the area, you can direct contact me.
thanks Brandon. My sister is coming for a 2 week holiday. She's already on red alert ( lol) travelling on her own. I'm pretty sure carrying the equivalent to £500 UK will add an extra,burden for her. My sister will enter with a return flight ticket, an address to where she will stay in Isaan, with us. She's never been before, ever. I assume she'll get a straight through, but, will she.
is that 20k thai baht, or equivalent in a foreign currency ? Is this for literally, everyone, even a short holiday. I personally have never had 20k on me on entering Thailand . Is it a last resort to stop someone for the 20k ?. From what I gather, the world will be cashless in the future, then , I assume it will change. I have a family relative arriving soon, I'm sure she would rather not carry that amount of cash, but, if it's a must, I'll tell her. Thanks for any info
