I'm planning to leave Thailand in a few months and I've heard rumors that customs puts a limit on how much baht can be taken out of the country. I've been unable to get reliable information about this, and browsing through the posts I found nothing.

Does anyone know if this limit exists and if so what it is? Can you go around it simply by getting your baht changed to dollars or whatever before you go the airport? I've got a housing deposit, month's pay check, and two pay bonuses all coming at once, and that's going to add up. Of course I could just blow it all in one crazy weekend. Look for the guy ringing all the bells at the go-go's.

Answer: Yes!


This should clear things up:



Quote:
Currencies

Inbound Passenger:

An inbound passenger is allowed to bring in unlimited amount of foreign and Thai currencies.

Outbound passenger:

Unlimited amount of foreign currencies are permitted to carry out of Thailand. However, the amount of Baht 50,000 or more in Thai currency must be reported on departure, except those traveling to Lao PDR., Myanmar, Cambodia, Malaysia, and Vietnam are allowed to take out Thai currency not exceeding 500,000 Baht.
