How much money do tourists need to show when entering Thailand?

When entering Thailand under the visa-free regime (up to 60 days), you may be asked to confirm sufficient funds. Although this is rarely checked, it is better to be prepared. There are no official strict figures, but the Thai consulate recommends an amount of 20,000 baht per person or 40,000 baht per family in any currency (even in rubles at the current exchange rate).

For citizens of CIS countries entering on a Visa on Arrival, the requirements are slightly different: you must have financial means equivalent to at least 10,000 baht per person (over 12 years old) or 20,000 baht per family.
