Traveling to Thailand requires 5000 cash. What happened?

Thailand believes that if there is not so much cash, it will be regarded as having no spending power and illegal immigration tendency, so it refuses to enter Thailand.

According to the official website of the Thai Embassy in China, it is written in the column of visa type and application requirements:

Carry 10000 (for individuals) and 20000 (for families) in cash or equivalent foreign currency (the Thai Immigration Bureau will conduct random checks).
