Liverpool Lou Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 (edited) "Interesting Immigration attitude at Swampy today". That IO's "attitude" was her doing her job, the result of which was your being stamped in with no issues. What was so "interesting" about that?

Expand So, which of the two, mechanics or gambits? I don't see anything wrong with the IO behaviour. You had about 30 entries in 7-8 years, that IS a lot and she was right. Do get a visa, or be prepared for some obvious questions, including whether you have a relationship in Thailand.

From the top down , the falang is really someone who you can treat badly over and over and over and over. To be fair, 'service to attract repeat business' is uncommon in Thailand. In the mindset of many Thais it seems normal to give a (you know) about customers and tourists, before and after they have 'paid'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On 8/26/2022 at 9:38 AM, DrJack54 said: You are made to fly back to where you departed to fly to thailand. I was denied entry about 4 years ago. All very polite, but firm. Wasn't even allowed to move my car from the car park or contact my long term gf to give her the keys. I flew in from a bordering country and was denied entry because of too many visa waivers. Was initially told I would be deported to Europe, even though I made it clear I had flown in from "next door". I then bought a ticket back to where I'd come from and was escorted to the gate. Again, all very politely. I had the impression that I could have bought a ticket to anywhere as long as I was leaving the country. Since then, visas all the way and no issues.
