Traveling to Thailand requires 5000 cash. What happened? Can't you bring it?

? As for the "minimum threshold" of carrying 5,000 yuan, some media reporters contacted the customs of Bangkok Airport in Thailand, and the response was that there was no regulation on how much money tourists should carry, but they should contact the customs for filing if they exceeded 2,000 dollars in cash. The reporter logged into the website of the Thai Embassy in China and found no statement about the "minimum threshold". But whether it is a transit visa or a tourist visa, Thailand will have a deposit certificate. For example, if you travel to Thailand, you need a deposit certificate of not less than RMB 10000. ?

? It has also been said that recently, the immigration department of Thailand airport often checks inbound tourists. If they don't bring enough 25,000 baht (or equivalent to 25,000 baht, or 5,000 yuan in foreign currency), they will be regarded as having no spending power, inclined to emigrate illegally and refused to enter Thailand. . . Snail travel. . . Focus. . . Tourism in Thailand. . . .

There is also a saying that it is random inspection at any time to see luck, only occasionally. I suggest you take it, just in case.

Below, the author will give some examples of expenses, and then you can calculate how much money you need according to your actual situation.

First, the visa; Although Thailand is landing visa, personally, I suggest you apply for a visa in advance, because the domestic customs may say it will be difficult for you. Now Thailand implements a visa-free policy. You can go to the Thai Consulate in person, and you need to prepare some forms, or you can find many agents on Taobao, and you can give them about 30 yuan to 50 yuan.

Second, the plane. The general process is boarding pass/checked baggage-customs/security check-registration-eating and drinking on the plane-landing-customs-running out of the airport; I am not very clear about the specific exit process of domestic airports, but they are inseparable. In Suvarnabhumi, Thailand, you go through the customs first, and then go through the security check before the boarding gate. All duty-free goods you bought at the airport, especially liquids, will be sealed in plastic bags and given to you. Never open them! ! ! Otherwise, there will be security problems. Eating and drinking on the plane is of course free, as long as it is a relatively large airline. As long as they are bold but cautious and thick-skinned, as long as they have water and drinks, they can drink at will. Generally, if you eat too much, you will give an extra one, and it is ok to take it away. Again. The entry card for Thailand will be issued on the flight to Thailand, so it will be more convenient to fill it out on the plane, so bring a pen. Entry cards are all in English, which may be surname, first name, address in Thailand, passport number, visa number, birthday, nationality and gender. That's all I remember. You need to hand it in together when you go through customs.

Third, the cost problem; If you are not familiar with the road and your English is not good, I suggest you change dollars before you go, because in most banks in Thailand, the buying price of RMB is very low, even lower than Hong Kong dollars. On May 2nd, the buying price of RMB was 4. 27, but the real interest rate is 5. 14, there are several local exchange points opened by China people, which can change to a good exchange rate, just behind bigc, which is called super exchange, but if you are not familiar with the road, you might as well change it to 100 or 50 denominations of US dollars, which is almost 5. 12 or so; It won't be expensive. I only eat 99 pork chops and wieners in a steakhouse in centralworld (similar to Oriental Xintiandi in Wangfujing, Beijing, including Isetan and zen Department Store), and eat a barbecued pork in the street. Wonton Noodles is about 30~40; The streets are all 7- 1 1, and the food and drink sold in them are not expensive. It's not very expensive to take a taxi in the urban area, usually 35, and it can be reached in most parts of the urban area 100, but many taxis don't want to pay a high price to hit the meter, so be sure to make sure that they are hit by the meter; There are light rail and subway in the urban area, as well as water bus on the Chao Phraya River, which are the fastest modes of transportation in the area. Light rail and subway are a little expensive, and the basic cost of going far is 89 yuan.

Fourth, shopping. How much is the tour in Thailand? Most of them were spent here. The shopping areas in Bangkok are all in Siam and chitlom, and large shopping malls are very concentrated. If you are a girl, of course, you should buy naraya's bag, which is located in Area A on the first floor of centralworld. Anyway, the price is low, beautiful and upscale (all Venetians in Macao have it). A handbag costs tens of RMB, and rarely exceeds 100 RMB. There is a hypermarket on the first floor of bigc(egv) opposite the Central World. My girlfriend bought a pair of Levi' s 53 1 pants, and she was only in her early 200 s when she returned to RMB. Buy it in Levi's store, which is not much different from that in China; Triumph and Wagner's underwear are very cheap, but it depends on where they are bought. L 'Oré al's things are super cheap. I bought a whitening cream for my colleague (sorry, I am a boy, the name of the skin care product is unclear), about 40 RMB. I want 135 when I go back to Macau. You can buy cosmetics at the kingpower duty-free shop in the airport (all the shops in the basic airport are owned by this company), which is much cheaper than in the urban area. When you go to Su 'anlan Night Market to buy things, you must be prepared to be cut. The bargaining price should be at least half of the asking price. Usually their shopkeepers will use calculators to communicate with you. Jimthompson's Tess is very good, but it is also very expensive. A handkerchief 100 yuan or so, depending on personal ability.

Fifth, tourist attractions. Generally, all major scenic spots need tickets. There are 350 plants in the Grand Palace, and the others will not exceed 100. Wear slippers when entering the temple, and don't point your toes at the Buddha statue.

Sixth, spa, the spa in Thailand is very famous, and the price span is also very large, ranging from hundreds to hundreds of thousands. Professional spa shops are mostly between 100 and 500, depending on your luck. Or you can try thai massage, which is really gray and comfortable, especially when your feet are sore and you have a headache after walking all day. Thai massage, the reclining Buddha Temple next to the Grand Palace, should be the most authentic, with 380 plants per hour, and about 200~300 plants per hour for urban massage.

I hope this helps.
