However, if you are entering with a valid visa (as opposed to visa exempt) the reasons for which you can be denied entry (they are listed in Section 12 of the Immigration Act)

Not correct. The reasons for denial under section 12 apply to entering with or without a visa.

 

Other reasons for denial are not specified in section 12, but possible under section 16, which pretty much allows anyone to be denied enter for any reason authorised by the ministry.

Somewhat accurate. However, we know immigration has been given discretion to deny entry to those using visa exempt entries to facilitate spending extended periods in Thailand. There is no evidence (and I do not believe) that similar discretion has been given to deny entry to those entering with tourist visas. Further, since decisions to deny visa exempt entry cannot be appealed, officials may be less inclined to worry about unjust decisions than is the case with appealable denials of entry to those with valid visas.
