asking info about supposed new rules posted here

I just saw a post coming by on Facebook, linked to a German Thailand tip website with a article about new visa regulations starting on 12 August 2017.

The regulation change is that tourists doing back to back border runs or using back to back 60 day Tourist visa will from now on get an in/out stamp as warning

and from 13 Aug 2017 onward they would not be allowed to come back to Thailand unless they can show a valid and correct visa and proofs of purpose for their intended stay.

This new rule supposed to come from Chief Immigration South Thailand Tatchai Pitaneelabut and Police Inspector at Songai Kolok already confirmed that at his

border check point more than 100 border runners a day are refused entries into Thailand.

Source of this article is: Thai Visa The Nation.

 

I can find nothing about this change on your forums,  thats the reason for this question as it seems you are the source who made this news.

That is from 2014 not this year. It is not the first time that has come up. Not sure how people keep dredging up something from almost 3 years ago and thinking it is for this year. The same rubbish was brought up about this time last year.

Thanks for clearing. Should I delete the topic or can you close it, before long discussions start?
