•When being randomly checked: You can present a credit card (the limit must exceed 20,000 baht) or print a hotel reservation in advance as auxiliary proof
•Not enough cash: There are ATMs in the entry area of Suvarnabhumi/Don Mueang Airport, but please pay attention to the single cash withdrawal fee (220 baht/time)
•Remaining return trip: It is recommended to reserve 1,000-2,000 baht for airport meals and last-mile transportation
