Do I have to bring 4000 to Thailand in August?

At the official website of the Thai Embassy in China, the visa information about "landing visa needs more materials" clearly stipulates that "take 20,000 baht in cash or equivalent foreign currency with you (the Thai Immigration Bureau will randomly check)".

In fact, this regulation is not a "new regulation". On May 29th this year, according to the China Consular Service Network, the China Embassy in Thailand was quoted as saying, "According to the regulations of the Immigration Bureau of Thailand, foreigners must carry no less than 20,000 baht (about 4,000 RMB) when entering Thailand, and the bank credit card is invalid. Thai immigration officials randomly check that those with insufficient cash will be refused entry. This provision applies to all kinds of visa entrants, including landing visa. Recently, several tourists from China were spot-checked. The Embassy of China in Thailand reminds China citizens who intend to go to Thailand to abide by the new regulations of the Thai Immigration Bureau and ensure smooth entry. "

The reporter called the official telephone number of Guang Zhi Tourism yesterday, and the staff was surprised when they heard the query that "it's impossible to bring 4,000 yuan in cash to Thailand". Without this rule, how much cash you bring is useless. " Some people in the tourism industry said that Thailand's regulations on the amount of cash brought into the country have long existed, but the number has changed slightly, and it is a random inspection. Most group tourists may not have met it, and many people don't know it. In fact, not only Thailand, but also many tourist destinations have similar regulations, mainly for fear that tourists will stay and work illegally in the local area because of insufficient money.
