While policies at any entry point are subject to change without notice, historically there have been zero problems entering at Nong Khai with a valid visa. In fact, you could probably still enter there using your valid Non Ed visa. Certainly, with a new tourist visa, you should be absolutely fine.

 

When denied entry on the Non Ed, what did Suvarnabhumi stamp in your passport as the reason for the denied entry?

They said "Unable to sustain himself", based on translation by a Thai friend. They never asked me for proof of funds, but denied me entry anyway.

Hi guys.

After being denied entry on a valid ED visa 2 months ago (apparently my school was blacklisted and they didn't believe I was studying) in Suvarnabhumi, I'm planning to return with a Tourist Visa in January. I'm currently in the Philippines and my plan is to get the Tourist Visa in Manila, then fly to either Laos/Cambodia and enter via land crossing.

However my question is this: I see most people recommending Nong Khai as the easiest crossing, but I have read they have fingerprint scanners and thus will see the entire history, which is not ideal (I have a new passport, the previous one was quite full already and it had the denial stamp, so I made a new one... But if they see the entire history, there may be problems again) (Also note that this is the first time I ever had any sort of trouble with immigration: not even one day of overstay previous to this.)

I also hear that Poi Pet is no good, but as far as I know they dont have fingerprint scanners. So I'm wondering what would be the best course of action for me, meaning what crossing would be the best. Maybe another one (not Nong Khai nor Poi Pet)?

Any feedback appreciated!

I'm also interested in this. Have you managed to find any data in this regard, Hal65?
