Looks like the 'not enough money to support yourself' stamp.

(too faded for me to read)

They never asked about money. I usually come with about 100,000 baht in my wallet.

Long distance flights to Thailand are becoming a serious financial mistake for 'frequent flyers'.

Better to fly to KUL or HCMC, stay a few days then fly with a different airline to Thailand (if you really must).

Why not visit your gf in Cambodia, doesn't cost her much to travel there, or pick a new gf from the Cambodian lady forest.

Cambodia ideas are good, I will consider both.

I started this thread. I suggest you go to Laos and get a SETV. Use the Nong Khai land border crossing and don't ever try flying to Bangkok again.  You can fly from Udon Thani to Bangkok. 

Would you suggest Malaysia? Much easier to get a flight.

Why is the airline holding your passport?

The airline keeps the passport and provides escort, possibly because they are liable. In San Francisco, the will turn the passport over to US immigration. 

I agree that this is nonsense. 

The first group suggested that I go to Laos. 

I think that it's up to the airline, and in this case EVA takes me back to SFO. 

Based on what I read, 

I will turn around and go to Malaysia. 

I will apply for a 60 day tourist visa. 

Cross or fly from Malaysia. 

Never been in any kind of trouble. 

Speed trap traffic tickets is it. 

I am flying back now. 

I asked for the chance to fly to a neighboring country. I was ordered back to the country I originated the journey. 

Currently the airline holds my passport. I know they stamped and wrote on the passport. I don't know what is written until I see it. 

They didn't ask about sufficient means for supporting myself. However, that might just lump it all together. 

I did say that I stay with my Thai girlfriend when I am here. They called her to verify. I think that was a mistake to volunteer that information. 

A question, if I obtain a 2nd or renewed passport, would the name or the passport number be recognized? 

I will start a new thread when I get on the ground. 

I got an expulsion today at BKK Airport. 

2 years flying in using the Visa on Arrival. 

I usually stay up to 1 month, go back to the US for a week or two. 

They didn't say anything to me. Explain nothing, did a bunch of paper work and the airline escorted me back. 

I did get some part about border runs. I made 1 in 2018 and 1 in 2019.

Now I have no idea if I can get back in the country. 

Does anyone know how I can find out, or go to Malaysia or similar and get a 60 day tourist visa.
