According to the rules for entering Thailand, you must have 20,000 baht with you, which is almost $ 700. This rule is written on the announcement at the Bangkok airport - where visas are issued. In practice, I have never seen anyone asked, but they have the full right. On different forums, from time to time (rarely) there are reviews that the tourist was asked to present funds.

Six months ago, we were not asked to show anything. And for some reason we took not 700, but 500.

This is not a mandatory procedure, but airport employees may require the amount of 500 USD (or equivalent) for presentation per person or per parent with a child if you arrive in the country for more than 15 days. Nobody asked me, but I observed this procedure. The young man went with the policeman to the ATM and presented the amount on the card. Then he went through passport control. Upon departure, my travel agency informed me of this issue.

These are isolated cases, so I think no one will ask you. Thais are very kind people, even in police uniforms. :)

most likely inflation. In Thailand, prices have also risen a little and, I think, the government has decided that now it is not $500, but $650. But I cannot say with certainty that this is exactly the case. It’s just written on the consulate’s website (link above) and you can’t do anything about it.

Yesterday, a citizen of Ukraine who came to a local Russian lady was asked at the border to show a bank card, traveler's checks or cash guaranteeing his financial independence for the period of his stay in the country. His comrade could not show them and a small incident arose. The nervous young man shouted to the lady on the phone that she promised to cover all his expenses. Ten minutes later he was released with a smile from the airport. Smiled =))) But still they began to ask. Watch out!
