Can my sister enter Thailand with an expired Thai passport and a US passport?

John-Paul ******

@Stuart ********

but as i said entering on an expired thai passport will not be an issue. Also it will not take 45 + 30 if arriving on US passport to renew the Thai one.. but enter on expired thia for sure!

Can my sister enter Thailand with an expired Thai passport and a US passport?

John-Paul ******

Expired Thai passport will work for entry but as she has a US passport.... what is the issue. On the latter she will get now 45 days. Then once in country... renew thai passport. But expired thai passport will be good for entry into Thai.

Do I need to show 20,000 THB in cash for entry into Thailand from Laos for my family?

John-Paul ******

This has always been on the books. But it is rarely instituted. Depends of immagration officer and certain perceived factors they have. But if asked if you have a credit card or a thai ATM card...it should be enough.
