It is a pain. This time the Immigration officer at the airport told me that a lot of visitors from Vietnam also face the same situation as their last names are so common. He also suggested me to change my last name, but I am not going to do that.

I feel your pain. In fact, there is potential for even worse problems than you have already experienced. I could well imagine, with the relatively recent Advance Passenger Information System, that the airline could receive a DNB (do not board) notification from immigration (which they receive with no explanatory commentary). That could mess things up a lot more than just an annoying few minutes at immigration when entering.
What it looks like is that your passport(s) and the other person's passport(s) have been erroneously linked in immigration's system. I assume the system suggests passport linkage, and the immigration official either confirms or cancels the linkage. Unfortunately, it seems an official made an error at same stage. There must be a way of correcting this, but reaching the people able to do it, and convincing them to do so could be very problematic. I think this is one of those situations where it may be worth paying a well connected immigration lawyer to intervene on your behalf.
Thank you for your insightful response. I had not thought about Advance Passenger Information System. Yes, it could get even worse. I am planning to get an immigration lawyer intervene on my behalf. I have written to 3 of them today. I hope I hear something from them soon. Do you recommend any trustworthy law firm that I should reach out to?

I have been wrongfully blacklisted in Thailand because my LAST name and Date of Birth match with another person. Our first names are different. Every time I enter Thailand or leave Thailand, blacklisted message pops up at immigration computer screen when they scan my passport. After that a supervisor has to override this message and then they let me go. This has been happening for the past 5 years. It is an unpleasant experience as I visit Thailand 1-2 times a year. It also happened last month when I visited Thailand.What can I do to REMOVE my name from the blacklist? I don't want to go through the unpleasant experience every time. I very much appreciate your guidance. Please HELP.

How is Pattaya Nightlife Scene These days with Corona virus?
in Pattaya
Posted
I am planning to visit Pattaya in 10 days, but with all the Coronavirus thing going around I am not sure if the night life scene, Soi 6, Coconut bars are still active. If I go in 10 days can I still have a good time? If you have been to Pattaya recently or if you live in Pattaya, please share your opinion on this. Are there still many Chinese in Pattaya nowadays? Thank you.
