Virtualrecluse Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 I just changed a couple of hundred thousand baht into euros at an exchange bureau. I had to fill out a form stating occupation, workplace and reason for transaction and was asked whether I had spent a long time in Thailand. Since I am not even attempting to depart the country right now i.e. going through customs, I would like to know why all that was necessary. Is there something irregular or illegal about what I did?

Must admit, if I owned a money exchange business I would be taking more time to verify that any amount over 50k was not counterfeit, stolen or whatever, and the more info you get at the point of sale the more chance you have of customs apprehending someone if theres a subsequent problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
