I experienced this yesterday, you need 20,000 in cash, I think tourists need 10,000. Travellers cheques not accepted.

I have been hearing about this since I first came to Thailand and started doing visa runs, usually at Mai Sai. Have done two visa runs recently, Dec and Feb and have never been asked to show money. Where did they ask you ?

This was Ranong Andaman pier. Heard that down on the Southern border they have turned folks back. This could get some one hurt. Walking around with that kind of cash, could be tempting for some people.

To honest there is nothing new in this, that rule had always been there, its just the enforcement, as with a lot of laws in Thailand , which has been lacking and now they are enforcing it

You are right, a bit of notice would help.90 days ago I had no problem.

Reading a topic over at TVF, and it sounds like each border run spot is making it up as they go, again.

I went today, 13 days early. 20k in my wallet. Not even talked to. Having said that, the gobby cow from last time wasn't there. Burmese side, what a difference. Friendly chat, wanted to know what the book I had was about. Brief history lesson on The Wars of the Roses .
