Can you bring cash to Thailand?

Short answer
Allowed, must be declared

  • Cash

    allowed, must be declared

    A Customs declaration is required when bringing into or taking out of Thailand Thai baht banknotes exceeding THB 450,000, or foreign currency banknotes exceeding USD 15,000 (or equivalent).

    Figures per the Bank of Thailand's exchange control regulation page; the page does not itself cite the underlying Ministerial Regulation/Currency Act section number, so treat the legal citation as the regulator's own summary rather than the statute text.
