Guess above replies your question. Should your friend be female, georgous and young (and you are male?) be prepared for some questions by immigration officer on actual reason for the trip. They want to make sure that she returns to Thailand and does not stay in Honkers.

Well, I am male and my friend is young and gorgeous but not female so he should be alright!

Thanks Axel.
