How much money do I need to bring to Thailand on a visit visa and do I need a visa or an e-visa?

Immigration might ask you to show 20.000,- THB in cash or in any other currency. Visa or no visa depens on how long you want to stay in Thailand.

@Brandon ****
 If your host has a Hotel license, it would be legal, but Riviera Jomtien isn't a Hotel.

For 2 nights I would book some Hotel on Agoda.
