, not sure , as she is Thai ,maybe

Now the Tax rules are changing there are likely to be more people bringing cash and exchanging it here

rates at SuperRich are good

@Keith *******

agreed but you have to declare it arriving in Thailand

Plus the form says anything over $15k US

Also as I’m English the limit out of UK is $ 10,000 US and you also have to fill out a form

International limit is 10,000 US , if you son is also carrying the same you will get a pull

Is that worth the risk ?

@Ruth ******

as we live in Bangkok it’s always a paper chase at immigration

We arrived back in Thailand just as Covid hit from a 6 month trip to UK together

So went to do first 90 report , they are not happy because we have had a month in Pattaya/ Jomtien staying in hotels and have not informed them of my change of address!!

Big problem if I have to leave Thailand because airport is closed

So my Wife calls her old Boss ,who’s a Lady, and she comes down to vouch for me

Phew a close one

@Ruth ******

she effectively crosses it out so nobody can use the photo copy again, a bit like crossing a cheque

Before she retired my wife was Finance Officer for a very large Thai Coffee Company so maybe be it’s to stop fraud ,which is rife in Thailand

@Ruth ******

, the signed copies of everything in Thailand have always amused me at Visa time or any other Official paperwork submission

My wife always puts two diagonal lines and signs between the lines when she is asked for a copy of her ID card , Marriage Licence or any other identity , also makes me do the same

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

thank you for that I have always wondered about the blue pen only rule

@Ellis *****************************

it sure is I’ve had notes refused with marks on them

So swapped them with cleaner ones

When I looked through the Thai notes I’d been given some where marked so I asked her to exchange them which she did, very, very reluctantly

This was in SuperRich Bangkok some years ago

@Michael ******

ahh I see ,I’m not here permanently yet so this issue hasn’t happened to me

I’m not sure why you would bother with a Thai licence?

Just use an International Driving Permit
