Its best if you carry THB cash and your debit/credit card as people prefer payment in cash in Thailand. Also, you'll be charged with the same conversion amount (THB 200) if you take out money from an ATM through your Forex or Debit/Credit card.
For visa on arrival, its required that you carry THB 10,000 but they usually do not check it. (Just the passport, hotel and return flight documents).

While cash is accepted everywhere, a forex card gives you the convenience of not carrying large amounts of cash and also helps with emergencies. When I traveled to Thailand, I had both options, and it worked out well. I also used matrix.in for my visa, which made the process smooth. For the Visa on Arrival, you’ll need to show your passport, return flight ticket, proof of accommodation, and possibly some cash or a bank statement as proof of sufficient funds. 2) A forex card is ideal for security and ease, but always keep some cash (THB) for smaller purchases. When applying for a Visa on Arrival, make sure to have:
- Your passport (valid for at least 6 months).
- A return flight ticket.
- Proof of accommodation (hotel booking or an invitation letter).
- Proof of sufficient funds (around 10,000 THB per person). I got my visa with matrix’s help, and they provided all the necessary details for a smooth entry into Thailand.
