I'm moreso asking if I go to the border with a cancelled passport and a new one if I will have any problems or be asked to pay. My local travel agent has no information to give.
This was in Savannahket. I had read on here that they would ask for it, so I had the papers prepared. Money doesn't need to be in Thai account though. I handed the papers, he flipped through each page, very brief check and I was done in less than a minute.
