Yes... I am sure that everybody else created the problem for you and you were helpless in straightening it out before you were forced to come here.

They have been doing crackdown on visas long time before i enter Thailand, they even started in 2013. But i guess that you always done everything by the book and that is why you are old and grumpy on the internet. If you want to go blame people and spew <deleted>, go do that with your wife instead. You haven't answered any question that i asked and all you did was come and complain and say i am the one looking for special treatment and that i am the problem they visa crackdowns. i have 1 TV and 5 visa exempt in 2 years. People had a lot more and worse than this. Even hearing people having 5 exempt in 1 year.

If refused visa at Savannakhet how do you plan to reenter Thailand.

Think you have used 2 visa exempt via land.

Last resort suggest flight to CNX try to enter visa exempt via airport. 

Basically time to leave Thailand.

You mentioned that you are young.

Spend time in Vietnam.

You are also visa exempt entry there

Yea i will swing it and see what lands. 

Correct my 2 border exempt are used already.

Thanks for that advice about CNX, i will probably go to Vientiane and try from up there after Savannakhet. If that doesn't work i will be ready to try airport or different country. But thinking that if i go another country after it will look worse on my passport. Time will tell, but i will keep update here.

Best to skip Vientiane and head straight for Savannakhet. Flying into CNX is risky and might see you booted straight out of Thailand with a rejection note in your passport.

Right now I'm sitting on the bus back to bangkok from savannakhet, smooth sailing and had no issue at all at the consulate. I was prepared with alot of extra papers like bank statement but they just gave all of them back at the counter. 

Heard from a Canadian guy that he saw 1 person they refused to accept the paperwork. And 1 guy that asked why he got denied and wanted to IO to talk with his lawyer on the phone. 

 

I got the visa next day at 2pm.

Thanks, was nervous but feels great now, i don't have to think about crossing border in almost a year now.

The papers they kept was :

Application form with 2x photos.

All paper from school.(I guess around 15 pages)

And copy of passport + visa stamp.

 

The whole trip cost about 5500-6000thb + food

The Laos immigration doing shady things at the border, they wanted different prices from all 3people I talk with. 

They say you should pay in USD, 2 of us got charged 1600bath and another guy had to pay 1800. And when we stamp out from laos they ask for 50,000kip or 100bath. But it's just to take your passport and go, there should be no fee to stamp you out country.

They are doing that at the Savannaket border crossing too now.?

They used to do that at the Lao/Cambodian crossing, asking for an exit fee. 

Corruption spreading.

cheapest option, MARRY

 

don't bring any more money to TH than you need ...

Again depends on which country. Some Thai embassies in Europe do not even bother to answer e-mails and rarely answer the phone for public questions.

Absolutely no need for your sarcasm Trolls tend to hover around this site looking for victims to insult. It appears that you are one of them.  As the questioner said you have contributed nothing whatsoever of any value to this discussion. All you have done is post deriding and insulting comments
