Visa exemption is still there, except that it's now 60 days.

You speak of August but if you max that one out, it puts you in November. Then there's not all that much time between that one and a new entry in January. It will also matter whether your other two entries were maxed out and back to back, or not.

Either way the safer bet is to not plan that it'll work.

it's a decades outdated requirement, no one can reasonably be asked to show cash entering a country. Everyone knows that, immigrations does too. Hence why they don't enforce it. And where did you see "all these" posts? Imho it is just this one.

Did you read my story and the investigation about the supposed refused entry? It was directed not at the entrant how she came without cash, it was directed at the immigrations supposedly refusing her for it. And it turned out it was made up, she wasn't denied. The to be expected outcry in the (social) media and the headlines, it was all there.

there are many reasons not to choose it, but then you can't live in Thailand. It's one or the other. It is very well known that you cannot bounce forever.

I'm talking about requiring to bring money cash instead of using a bank account.

It's a law from 5 decades ago. An immigrations officer thinking he can still use it today has a bigger problem at the end of his (then last) working they than you. Can you imagine the headlines if one person got refused for having money in the bank?

It actually happened a year or so ago. They Thais started an investigation about what actually happened. It was clearly toned towards the immigrations officer's decisions being under scrutiny, not the fact that someone held money in the bank. The investigation concluded by the way the the claims were false and that the person in question was not refused entry, i.e. also not for having money in the bank. She was just a sensation seeking YouTuber. The statement dismissed the requirement as "secondary". But in the end, the headlines and media outrage that I imagined also before the incident, it was actually there ;)

@Michael *****
maybe you misunderstood. Leaving Cambodia there is nothing Cambodian immigrations could possibly harass you with. If you had problems, it should have been with Thai immigrations.

They always ask for USD. Your statement that you visited this border more often is doubtful, as is the rest of your story.
