I was flying into Laos, the baht is not Laos currency. Just sharing my experience, as I thought it was odd.

@John ******
Yes, I was able to check in but only after I went to get the 10k baht out before flying to Lao.

Oh got it. I thought she had a Non-b visa already. As this visa can be transferred, to a new Non-b if her new employer finishes all new paperwork in time so that it can be transferred before the expiration date.

Hi,

So if you are changing companies your non-b technically can be transferred. However, you will have to cancel the non-b first and work permit from your previous employer and whatever date immigration gives you after the old non-b is cancelled, which is typically not a full month, and then transfer to the new non-b. If your new company does not gather all the paperwork needed to transfer to a new non-b before your expiration date of the old cancelled non-b from your previous employer. Then you will have to leave Thailand and re-enter. Which is currently what I have to do since my company could not get all the documents in time to transfer my non-b.

No, she did not care about my bank account. She said it must be in cash in person. Or I would be denied boarding my flight.

Hi, it was an issue leaving Bangkok flying into Lao with the airline. I would pay for the visa on arrival in Laos they require a passport photo, and pay a fee either in USD or Thai Baht, for the visa on arrival.

Yes, I have enough funds. I just did not take out 10k baht in cash when traveling to Lao. So I thought this experience was odd.

@John *********
Yes of course I had enough funds to show in my bank account. However, the airline said, No I needed to get 10k baht in cash. So I did, I never had this experience. Which I thought was really weird.
