One Day Layover in Manila

[mulder12345]

I will be arriving in LOS after a one day layover in Manila. I want to see a bit of Manila and have night in a hotel until the next morning flight. Will I have any problem at Thai airport immigration because of that one day visit? I am entering with a long-stay multi O-A. I don't know if they will say I have to come direct from america with no other visa stamp in between or if it will be a non-issue.

Non-issue, do it.

But, you should be aware that by breaking up your direct connecting flights you will go back to the more normal non-U.S. baggage limit of ONE BAG of 20 kg.

So, if you're bringing two bags be prepared to pay a surcharge for you flight from Manila to Bangkok.

Thai immigration will not be remotely interested where you have arrived from

this is incorrect as long as you do not know the circumstances of OP:

1. There is no such thing as "non-U.S. baggage limit of ONE BAG of 20 kg" - Every airline makes up their own rules what is allowed and what is not allowed. Either in total weight and in amount of pieces

2. OP might be on a stop-over ticket or even just a normal ticket were the layover (hence the difference) is less than 24 hours. - As long as his flights are on the same ticket the MSC (most significant carrier) rule published by IATA applies.
