Do I have to bring 5000 yuan in cash to travel to Thailand?

You don't need to bring 5000 yuan in cash to travel there.

The cash requirement for tourism in Thailand is not fixed at 5000 RMB. According to the regulations of the Immigration Bureau of Thailand, foreign tourists must bring not less than 20,000 baht (about 4,000 yuan) in cash or equivalent foreign currency when entering Thailand, and electronic payment methods such as bank credit cards are not considered valid. If the amount of cash or equivalent foreign currency carried by tourists does not meet this requirement, Thai immigration officials have the right to refuse their entry.

Tourists planning to travel to Thailand should ensure that they bring enough cash to meet this requirement to avoid problems when entering the country.
