2 week holiday

@Brandon ***********

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

I've been using wise for several years now. Only in the beginning did I have an issue with the FT. Apparently, if you contact them,,they " flag" your transaction and it seems to work. Every transaction I do now comes with the FT. Unfortunately, if I ever need money quickly, it don't happen, it's always the same slowish route, which is usually ar18 hours ish

and always check it's a foreign transfer on you Bangkok bank app, it can be a bit of an issue if it don't. You can always ask wise to make sure they do that foreign transfer for yer

wow, I didn't realise you had to have an onward flight with a Non o, thanks for that info. I heard it's getting difficult to open a bank account, although I have 2 or more friends in our area that got their Non o here with new bank accounts. All new to me, I wasn't Aware that you could officially get a Non o here until late last year. Previously, as far as I remember, you had to leave the country . Cheers Stuart

@John *********

that's interesting John, but, is it not possible to get the Non O here, what's the difference

@John ************

thanks for your response John, but I didn't see it, hence, that's why I asked.
