Yesterday we took an Air Asia flight from Phnom Penh to Bangkok. At check in we were asked for evidence of our onward travel from Bangkok. We explained we had not booked our flights yet. The check-in assistant said we could not fly unless we proved we had sufficient funds to stay in Thailand and be able to afford to leave. She requested we each show her $500 in cash. Which meant leaving the long queue and walking to a cashpoint to withdraw a total of $1000. How ridiculous! We weren't having any of that and weren't getting anywhere fast so George called over the supervisor to have a word. We were advised that we could travel but it was our responsibility if we were refused entry into Thailand. We said fine. We arrived in Bangkok and apart from being asked how long I was staying there was no issue. #airasia #cambodia #phnompenh
