Same here... (how to cancel it though ?) I just e-mailed them to cancel so I don't take up spaces needed by others. Op really isn't helping himself. There are people on this forum who know very senior immigration officers who they could put the Op in contact with. But... the Op is doing such a terrible job of helping himself I doubt anyone would want to go out of their way to assist a stranger who is being somewhat belligerent and really not placing himself in a position to help others help him. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post geisha Posted January 14 Popular Post Share Posted January 14 I think you’ve all done good work on trying to help this OP. He obviously has a problem he’s not divulging. I don’t believe his story. I don’t believe anyone can accuse you of having a “ false” boarding card for a start. It’s easy to prove, you have your ticket/ flight/ seat number / booking. Never heard the likes. I have seen someone answering rudely to an immigration officer and I’m quite sure that he regretted it. Also , all his mysteries, he’s not admitting to something, or he’s a troll. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I felt sorry for the Op and was ready to offer as much help as I could. I was even ready to PM him and offer contacts etc... but his responses are such that I wouldn't put my neck out and put him in contact with people who could help only to discover he's just a pain in the backside who is making his own problems. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danderman123 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 On 1/12/2024 at 9:56 AM, it is what it is said: assuming this tale is genuine, a little common sense goes a long way. at immigration never draw attention to yourself, just be another tourist arriving. only speak of spoken to, remain calm and polite at all times. if an IO behaves in any way unprofessionally to your detriment calmly and clearly ask to speak to a superior. personally, i've never had any issue with a thai IO, those i have seen having issues have always been brought about by their words, actions or behavior, or the words, actions behavior of their thai partner! that's tip 2, go alone. The only problem I ever had was at Suvarnabhumi, where an immigration officer noticed that my retirement visa was issued by an office outside my home province. I live in Chonburi, the visa was issued in Roi Et. That was a problem for a few minutes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danderman123 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 On 1/12/2024 at 3:56 AM, siwiek said: follow up to So like an honest citizen I followed what the Phuket immigration police told me (then again, they were 20 year old intern girls talking to me because the police officers refused to answer any questions during that experience)... and I stayed out of Thailand until 2024 and tried to enter again via Laos border. I told the IO my story and he kind of grinned and said don't worry, it's a new year you can enter here no problem. Then he saw something on my profile in the Thai Immigration database that confused him so we went to chat with the boss. She was also very nice and couldn't believe my story, but she seemed unsure what to do because of this warning on my profile. She said that since Phuket's initial reason for denying me entry was because they suspected I had fake boarding passes, this was therefore an airport problem and she asked me to go back to Laos and fly into Thailand into Bangkok airport to "clear this" and said after that I would have no more problems. Of course, no information about exactly what I'm "clearing" or how to "clear" it and also no guarantee Bangkok will allow me into Thailand despite her assurances. After the Suvanabumi Airport immigration asked for 25,000 bribe in December that I politely turned down, I decided to do everything honestly and visit Laos like the Phuket intern girls instructed me (they said Chiang Mai airport is also fine). But of course this also failed and I'm out $800 in airline tickets so far trying to come back to Thailand since December. What is the lesson that you wish to others from your experience? Get a "better" visa? Stay away from Thailand? What's the takeaway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
