Should I fly into Chiang Mai with this entry history, or will I be fine with BKK?

[bobcat888]

I've heard that CM is the more relaxed airport to fly into with the least amount of denied entries, so just wondering my best course of action.

 

Since November 2022, I've had:

1 x single entry tourist visa + 30 day extension

1  x visa exempt entry + 30 day extension

Each time I left the country for 2 months before returning (and will be the same for the next entry)

I've already secured my tourist visa from KL, so just wanted to get everyone's opinion on here...

Do you think with this history, and given the fact I've already secured my visa, I'll be okay flying into BKK?

Thanks in advance.

The important thing is that you mentioned in your history "time spent out of Thailand" 

Not a day or two. Much longer.

This is important.

 

Also you have a  visa.

Can happen but unlikely to be be refused entry with a tourist visa.

 

Bangkok airports will be fine.

Appreciate the info, that's put my mind at ease a bit.

I'm coming from Laos and the flights are so much more expensive to Suvarnabhumi.

Should immigration at Don Muang be okay too?

Why would you think it could be a problem with only 1 tourist visa and 1 visa exempt entry in the last year?  People are getting far too paranoid on here

Yes.

There were some refuse entry at DMK (in particular) during 2019.

Prior to covid.

You will be fine at Bangkok airports.

 

Prior to covid I was flying out/back Thailand every month for several years. 

Not a issue as I had annual extensions retirement with reentry permit.

However on some rare occasions I saw immigration question folk with stays based on SETV and visa exempt with history.

 

A tip is to make up a fictional itinerary.

Outlining your plans.

Sounds ridiculous but for some reason seems to be good option.

Even with a tourist visa have funds with your person.

True. He won't have an issue.

 

Your posts are so negative.

 

The OP asked a simple question.

The answer to which is that ...

He won't have an issue.
