Trump ahead in all battleground states - ALL OF THEM!

[Lancelot01]

For the first time this year I arrived at BKK on 23 July and was given a 60 visa exempt entry until 20 Sept.

On 17th September I went to Hua Hin Immigration at Blu Port and extended the stay until 20th October. 

On 17th October I flew to HCMC until today 25th.

On arrival at BKK the IO told me I need a visa, too many entries.

I was escorted to the 'interrogation' area where, after explanation by a second IO a senior lady IO said (my translation) Bai, let him (me) in. 

I was then escorted to the 'Priority' lane where a 3rd IO said 'I can't stamp you in? You stayed too many days, you must get a visa in your country.

From what I understand, the new ruling is that you can enjoy 60 days, plus 30 day extension and, if you leave Thailand, for whatever period,  the 'clock' resets for a 60 + (if required) 30 day extension. 

 

I would add that I only spend between 4 to 6 months each year in Thailand. 

 

Am I misinterpreting the July ruling?

Bottom line....you were admitted to Thailand?
