Popular Post BusyB Posted January 13 Popular Post Share Posted January 13 4 hours ago, richard_smith237 said: You haven't read the rest of the thread... Family doesn't always mean 'legal family'.... I suspect there are lots of guys in Thailand to refer to their significant other (long term girlfriend) and her children as family without any legal stance.... (i.e. unmarried and not a legal guardian of a Thai Child). Although, that seems to be a struggle for some to accept this possibility and prefer to interpret that the Op is making up this story. I think the Op is also under 50 so can't obtain a Non-Imm Op based on retirement. You're right - I started scan reading after the bickering over boarding cards broke out and only just returned now. And yes, family encompasses many versions and varieties. But if I had what I called a family in this situation and I were serious, I'd be doing something to legalize it and not be prancing around on various border entry points demanding to be treated as a special case. However: each to their own. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Op has posted of his difficulties of attempting to enter over the past month. Nothing the Op has written seems contrived or exaggerated at all. However, pooling everyone on the bull<deleted> category simply because this is an anonymous website highlights a cynicism highlighting your own true nature. The op is struggling to enter Thailand and get back to his family. Having known numerous Immigration officers over the years the suggestion that one of them offered the advice 'do not enter via Phuket' is not far fetched at all. It is far fetched. For over 60 years I have never heard a comment like that from an IO. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My boarding pass is in my Apple iOS wallet or in the trash on the airplane. If that is is unacceptable they can check their records or even send me back. I do not care. Requirement? Utter pish I have flown to Thailand hundreds of times over 26 years asked for a “boarding pass “ a hand full of times. Meaning 3-5 times It has only been required since the tm6 was abolished a few years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pattaya57 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 (edited) OP can easily prove his story is true by showing a pic of his non-identifying cancelled Thai entry stamp and cancelled Laos exit stamp but he refuses to do so. Just like his last denial thread, he refused to take any pic that would prove his story, but then started a thread in forum support asking for all people challenging his story to be immediately banned from Asean Now as they are Trolls with low IQ that are likely to be Thai immigration employees.....

siwiek Posted January 14 Author Share Posted January 14 Thanks to everyone for your advice, even though I'm not able to thank each of you specifically. I checked the Thai Embassy schedule and it would require waiting here in Laos a few more weeks, at minimum to apply for the visa. And I'm thinking like you said, another land border in Laos might just reject me again because of these weird stamps now in my passport, they might even call Nong Kai who will tell them they recommended me to fly in. So I bought a ticket to Chiang Mai airport. If I get rejected again (3 times) I will no longer try to go to Thailand anymore. As I have followed all the laws and regulations and being treated like a criminal. And I'm not interested right now in paying expensive bribes to these corrupt incompetent immigration offices to "clear" my profile... 1 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you do have these stamps in your passport, I respectfully suggest that you take a close look at them, and then tell us what personal data is included within these stamps that can identify you. The simple answer is there is none. I appreciate that you may be reluctant to expose your identity but as has already been said, on more than one occasion, posting a photo of either stamp will put an end to all the speculation. It’s nothing to do with "speculation on a board full of trolls" as you put it, its more to do with your veracity. Just in case you are having difficulty in finding the above mentioned stamps in your passport, I have attached below sample photos of a) a Denied Entry stamp, and b) an Entry stamp. As you will see there is no personal data inscribed on either stamp which can identify the holder of these stamps. @siwiek If you are not going to respond to useful posts such as this, you are not going to receive the help you need. Help others help you, I ca see why some are getting exasperated and beginning to suspect your posts due to a lack of detail. In showing your 'stamps' it would help knowledgable people (such as above) better understand your specific situation and offer solutions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate all your feedback, but I'm not going to expose my identity and it adds nothing to this discussion imo No one has asked that you expose your identity - its been explained to you that the stamps contain no personal information but could help those knowledgable to get a more accurate handle on the situation as its possible you misunderstand the meaning or interpretation of the stamps in your passport. There are people who can help, but you if you are unwilling to or too stubborn make efforts to help others help you then you are facing an uphill battle and a year from now people who could have assisted you with information on entering Thailand won't care, but you'll still be stuck outside. There are people on this forum who have strong contacts with senior immigration officers who could help... but they are not going to stick their necks out and use their contacts with someone they don't know who is unwilling to help themselves. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time I heard (and looked) around this time last year, the nearest appointment in Vientiane was over 2 weeks away. When I checked with HCMC in Vietnam, it was nearer 4 weeks wait for an open slot.

What is your definition of required? I throw any foisted on me to the rubbish onboard why do IOs not punish me somehow, or even ask for them most of the time? I never said I do not use boarding passes. I simply use mobile boarding passes as much as possible and if they want to know what flight I arrived via they can ask for it. The main reason I hate paper boarding passes is gate agents insist on rudely and carelessly marking on them using my passport as their clipboard, which I cannot tolerate . I do not want any more random pen marks on my passport facial photo page. Edited January 14 by Captain Monday 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
