Proof-of-Funds Reminder; Rayong Raid on 18 Illegal Workers
Thailand has reminded foreign travellers that they may need to show proof of funds upon arrival: 20,000 baht per person or 40,000 baht per family for visa holders, and 10,000/20,000 baht for Visa on Arrival holders. Separately, police in Rayong arrested 18 Chinese workers without permits at a data centre construction site on August 19, part of a broader crackdown on illegal foreign employment.
