What are the current requirements regarding proof of funds for entry into Thailand?

Cliff *********

Thank you for this very detailed explanation.

To those who wonder if it’s really necessary: look at this 20K as an insurance policy and a source of cash if your ATM is not working.

To those who cannot afford 20K: stay home for now and work longer.

To those who want to argue: have a nice stay in detention……

What are the visa extension options for a family in Thailand after a 30-day visa exemption?

Cliff *********

Your FB page is pretty empty.

Presumably you are from a Western country and are Visa Exempt and not trying to live in Thailand.

You will be stamped in as Visa Exempt for 30 days.

Go out to Cambodia and do it again no worries.

Have a nice trip and don’t overthink this.
