Do I need to present $500 at the airport?
I read this: To obtain a visa, tourists need to: present 500 USD in cash per person or if they have a bank card, they must withdraw 18,000 THB from an ATM (available at the airport), and also present a ticket with a return flight from Thailand. Otherwise, entry into Thailand will be denied.
Do they really ask you to show how much money you are carrying at the airport? Thank you in advance)

No, it's practically irrelevant. It happens, extremely rarely, that they ask for confirmation of the financial solvency of citizens of Ukraine (one of my acquaintances was asked to show either a bank card or cash in the amount of 2,000 US dollars per family). But this is more the exception than the norm. With regard to the citizens of Russia, I have not heard a single case of being asked about financial solvency. They have the right to ask for a ticket. A ticket to the hotel or a printed letter (invitation) from the hotel or from a private person too. But in practice, this almost never happens, and if it does, it’s enough to shrug, they say, no, and the issue is always settled and closed =)

I went twice this year, both times through Bangkok airport, they never made any demands on this matter, although on the eve of departure we were warned at the travel agency that they might be demanded. That's just the amount was negotiated not 500, but 700 dollars.

Travel companies write about it regularly. I went 4 times no one demanded. Showed the return tickets.

Theoretically, they can ask, in practice I have never personally encountered and have not heard from friends.
Indignant tourists sometimes slip through various forums.
