20,000 Baht in cash to enter?

Hi Guys,
Only 25 days to my trip (pretty excited by now ) so on Wednesday last week I went to the consulate to pick up my Visa. The lady who worked there duly stamped my passport and relieved me of £28, and then handed me a letter and ushered me out of the door. When I had a chance later to actually read the letter, it stated at the bottom something like

"upon arriving in Thailand, a single traveler must have 20,000 B on their person"

Whats this all about? Is it enforced? I was hoping to travel light cash-wise and change my money in Thailand, as I heard the rate was better.

Any ideas?

Thanks
Sam
