I O and many Thais, just can't get their heads around the fact that some people can take half a year off work if they want, maybe by working all hours they can, and that other thing called SAVING money for a long break from work or is it just jealousy. or like me many years ago, work all year without a holiday hand my notice in before Xmas got all the holiday money + the money from the first week money in hand,plus what i had been saving all year and take off on my travels,for as long as i could make the money last, go home and get a new job or in some cases was taken back on.

Exactly, Im working in a Oil and Gas on a 21 days on  and 7 days off shift. And with working about 6 months per year I bank enough overtime to get paid 40 hours per week for the rest of 6 months I am not working.

Easy to have a half a year holiday like that. And I couldn’t take this 21 and 7 schedule for more than 6 months straight anyway.

And on previous visits, you wasn't a genuine tourist? Now you understand where your previous history comes into play.

Always been a genuine tourists. Just not a big problem for me to have a 8 months off from work after every couple of years.

This is no longer possible

Because the Thai Que has a simple scanner for Thai passport only entry, but the foreigner ques now have full finger printing equipment that is needed for entry. The Thai Que does not have such

Okay, that makes sense. I thought there are e gates for those Thais who are holding e passport and regular gates for regular passport holders, but I guess now with the new fingerprinting thing it's not going to work anymore. How about if Thai is taking a foreign line at the passport control, are they going to allow it?

Your chances would be good. However, it could be touch and go if you encounter the wrong immigration official at DMK, especially if their detention room is relatively empty. What is your age?

My age is 34. Im thinking maybe they will let me take a Thai passport Queue since Im travelling with a Thai Citizen. Would really suck if they send me back to Japan when I have my return flight back to Canada two weeks later from BKK. 
This time Im really a genuine tourist, day after my arrival actually my mother is coming to Thailand for a 2 weeks holiday, we have domestic flights, rental car and hotels booked. Even if immigration at DMK will stop me for questioning and they are willing to listen what I have to say and explain my situation then there shouldn't be a problem but who knows in what kind of mood this officer have who supposed to stamp my passport.

What do you guys think am I going to have any problems entering Thailand this December? 

My last 3 years history is: 2017 spent about 77 days in a country with with visa 3 exempt entries (not back to back)

2018 spent about 8 months in Thailand with two SETV-s and four visa exempt entries, with a one month trip to Europe between those two tourist visas.

2019 spent 60+30 days in LOS with SETV (Left the country on June 24th)

And now December 2019 I plan to enter Thailand at BKK airport for 3 days, leave to Japan for 4-5 days trip with a girlfriend and enter Thailand again for 15 days but this entry would be in DMK airport.

How’s that sounds, do you think I will experience any problems with immigration with travel plans like that?

As an Estonian myself, I know there is a Estonian Honorary Consulate General in Bangkok and maybe they can help your wife. Google the location.

I have previously talked with Estonian Honorary Consul in Phuket, she was very friendly and helpful

Last year in Hat Yai Airport didnt want to let me in with wisa excempt, had to promise to the Boss Lady there that I will go home after 30 days ????

but actually they didnt like that I had been in Thailand for about 7 months at the same year (with 2 SETV-s, 3 Visa Excempt entries) and that I only spent one night in KL and came straight back to LOS.

Where to get this TM11 form? It seems like Thai Immigration website is down. Does anyone have this pdf saved into their laptop ?

I had exactly the same case couple of months ago and no problems. Went throw immigration before midnight and boarded my flight after midnight.

I had similar situation today in Hat Yai Airport. Tried to enter country on a visa exempt entry about 24h after I had left to Malaysia a day earlier. After 10 minutes chat with the supervisor she decided to let me in but I had to promise I will go home after my 30 days stay ????

I actually had a ticket to back home to show her but what she didn't like was that this year I have maxed out my every 30 or 60 days stay in Thailand.

This year I have 3 visa exempt entries, one from BKK Airport and two from Padang Besar Land border. Also I have 2 entries with SETV, One from Padang Besar and another from BKK. If Im not mistaking then I have spent total 210 days in Thailand and it will be 240 days total after I leave to Canada this November.

Do you think I will have any issues entering the country again at Suvarnabhumi with a Tourist visa around mid march next year? Before 2018 I haven't spent much time here and also 2019 I dont plan to stay as long as I did this time.

Does anyone know is SAFEWAY Storage near Wat Chalong still open in those days? And how much would it cost to leave my motorbike there for 4 months?
