ORIGINAL POSTER

I made it to Bangkok.  

Thanks for your previous answers helping me get here. 

Just wanted to let you know as I came from India with US passport, I was not asked for the 20k BHT (even though they can ask, and we did have it with us just in case). When we got to immigration we were asked zero questions. Very simple process and glad we didn't have to wait in the Visa on arrival line as we are lucky with being visa exempt.  

Thanks again.
