You should not have a problem when flying into Chiang Mai.

Your history of entries is not all that bad.

Because he might wonder if he will be denied entry.

I've had 6 visa exempt entries since 2017 as well, all by air. Soon to be 7th. I should be OK, but last time I did get asked if I was living in Thailand. So there is that nagging doubt. It is ridiculous that you might have to be concerned about something like that. I have a full-time job in the UK, I live in the UK, I have a house in the UK. Any country other than Thailand and you wouldn't give it a second thought.

Hey ubonjoe, just to follow up on this, I'm in a similar scenario to the OP in that I have 6 total TR visas since '17 and am considering trying to fly in to CNX for a visa exempt entry next month, only difference is that my passport is not brand new, but was issued Dec '18 and now has 2 TR visas and 2 visa exempt by land in it since. Would you say I also shouldn't have a problem? (I know you're only giving your opinion)

 

Thanks in advance.

OK thanks. And would you say the same thing for any other airport besides CNX, or is it only them?

 

Because I stay mostly in Bangkok so I obviously prefer DMK or BKK, but I think at this point it seems the prevailing wisdom on here is to avoid each of those places for anyone in my situation, which I'm willing to do.

 

Would you say that any of the other international airports more South are also not a problem? i.e. Phuket/Hat Yai?

No problem at those airport when departing the country. Only problems with entry at at those airports have been reported.

Sorry, I think there was a misunderstanding. I am talking about entry.

 

I will be flying IN to Thailand, same as the OP. Your initial reply to him was the he wouldn't have trouble flying in to Chiang Mai. I'm just wondering if you would say the same for another international airport, as well. particularly a Southern one.

Sorry got topics mixed up. I had been dealing with 2 of them about canceling extensions of stay by leaving the country.

Entry at CNX would be the best option.

OK Thanks for the advice ubonjoe...

 

I have searched the forum for feedback on Utapao and HatYai airports, re; deportations/denied entry, and it seems there's not much to be found, presumably because there's significantly less foreigners entering through there... However, one thread I found on Utapao in August had a post from you commenting that you didn't expect trouble entering there: 

I know you can't know everything about every airport, but would you say that entry at CNX is any more advisable than entry at UTP?

Oh yeah, I've watched that a few times. They are harsh !!

[pantsonfire]

Iam stuck in 2 minds where to go as I have 3 TV in the last 2 years plus a lot of VE prior to that and 1 Land border crossing

 

Undecided over whether to go land border crossing or via CNX.  It seems like CNX is the most convenient as i dont really need to exit the area and also need to pay a Laos visa.  However, it appears Land Border is the safest.  Abit caught in two minds
