can anyone please tell me how much cash it is legal to bring into the country?
for certain reasons bringing cash on my holiday would suit me better than leaving a trail of receipts and atm withdrawls

think its £5000 could be wrong though . if you need more
order £50 notes from your bank you can fit 5 grand in each pocket easy
if your not in the UK this will be a waste of time sorry .

I believe it to be 10,000 USD / 400k baht.. Not sure but a fair bit more than a normal holiday amount..

So, when will you be in LOS and where will you be staying?

I'm just asking out of curiosity.
