I said 1.5k to 2k. Not 15-20k. 🤦‍♂️🤣

Realistically, in Bangkok a minimum of 2k English pounds. Outside of Bkk, 1.5k English. Of course, it can be done slightly cheaper, especially up in Isan, but why come here to live a restricted and limited life......

As everyone has posted above, don't worry. You've got more chance of being winning the lottery than being asked to prove funds. Of course, have something available just incase, or a lump sum of cash on you, but in reality you'll be fine. I've never been asked in 15 years of going back and forth.

And an ever ending supply of Laew Kaew!

Here for the comments only. 🤣

Just go to the embassy in Laos, or Cambodia and apply for a new 60 day tourist visa and fly back in.

I would just book a cheap Nok Air, Smile or Air Asia flight out of Bkk for around the 30 day Mark but not use it. At least you can show an outward flight if required. You can get a cheap flight with any of the above for about £50.

Tourist visa. Avoid agents!!!!!

Got it for £500 - nothing mentioned about the second leg from Abu Dhabi to Bkk though. I'm assuming I'll get that too. Fingers crossed.

**Update guys**

Just had an email form Etihad to say my bid has been successful for a "business class studio". They look forward to welcoming me on board.

After several emails asking if I want to up my bid as there are only limited seats etc...I could of kept upping it and never known.

I'll update later once on board to see just how many of us there really are in the Business cabin.....

Total scam. If anyone else is thinking of doing this set you bid at £500 and do not budge!

You'll likely get your seat.
