Just gonna ignore the sad, ignorant comments and say thank you to all the people who gave their time and valuable info. Really appreciate it ????????

Ignore the haters, they be jealous. Most of them are on "proper" visas and don't seem to like it when the young folk "come and go as they please" ????

 

Good luck with your trip, and please let us know how you get on when you do make it back over. Firsthand accounts help us to build our knowledge base. I'm particularly interested in whether that previous refusal of entry is still flagged in the Immigration database and if so what kind of hassle did they give you, if any as a result?

One of these ...

 

I do not know for sure, but I do not think it is intended as the Thai character พ, a ph sound. I have always interpreted is as a "W" for "waiver", indicating a visa exemption.

Interesting, thanks for that. I thought was a Thai letter that was an abbreviation of the word for "visa exempt".

Hi again 

Yes I'm a female ???? 

I was refused at Phuket airport. They took my passport and escorted me to a plane to go back to KL. They said I did a visa-run and told me the two weeks I was in Vietnam previously was also a visa run (it wasn't, meeting a friend from back home). They told me to get the right visa in Malaysia. I got it, but when I got back to Phuket airport, I had to convince them again. 

Basically, they thought I had too many stamps, but even the immigration in KL was confused, they didn't understand / didn't think I had a lot of stamps. I'll try to find my old passport and see what it says. I remember they gave me a stamp and there was also a piece of paper attached, that I don't longer have. Which I'm affraid means deportation. 

I'm trying to give all info here, so I can get the best advice - not trying to keep anything untold. 

I haven't been in Thailand since the end of 2019. I could apply for a visa, but that also looks weird, since I have to be there for less than 30 days.  

Is there anyway to get insight into what is says in the system? or help? 

Looks like you were denied entry, not a serious problem, but they put a remark in the System. That is the reason you get questioned every time.

A Tourist visa really not help. Suggest you enter on visa exempt and have cash ready (appr THB20000), a paid room booking for the entire stay and a paid reconfirmed return or onward flight ticket.

Yes, a denied entry is still flagged in the system.

Usually you can log into your airline's website to see (amd make changes to) your booking. If they tried this or have another way to verify tickets, I don't know, but that's what I would have done to show them my ticket is legit.

When I was much younger ????, I couldn't get a Retirement Extension because I wasn't 50 yet. So I did many flights from Thailand to Vietnam, Cambodia, Malaysia, Philippines and back to Thailand after a while.  One day I got this message stamped next to my Thai visa - see picture ????????????. But in the same year I became 50 ????????????. So you might get problems if you stay here too many days with the wrong visas. 

 

cool...wish I had one for my collection

Looks like she was denied entry for too many visa exempt entries within a period of time.
I'm sure Immigration would have advised her to get the 'correct' visa for the purpose of her stay, meaning a 'Tourist Visa'.

 

If she intends visiting friends in Malaysia or elsewhere, then she should purchase a re-entry permit, which will cover her duration of stay granted by the TV.
