Can I enter Thailand if my passport has unused space but not a blank page for a visa exemption stamp?

Question

I don't have a whole blank page left, but have plenty of unused space on random pages, can enter Thailand? 
I just need a stamp as I am on visa exemption program, have plenty of room for stamps... I think it shouldn't be a problem. I am flying home to get new passport and all good connecting flights are from Bangkok, so I need to enter Thailand, possibly via land or air.

The post discusses concerns about entering Thailand with a passport that has plenty of unused space for stamps but is not entirely blank. Various commenters share their experiences, indicating that it's generally acceptable as long as there are at least a couple of pages available for stamps. They mention that Thai immigration has previously stamped in the middle of the passport and that travelers can request officers to stamp in specific areas. There's also concern about airline policies regarding passport pages, but overall, it appears that entry should not be a problem.

As long as you have 2 pages left it should not be a problem. I say it should be because I am an extreme cautious person

I was wondering the same thing.  I don't understand how countries just randomly stamp on passport anywhere they chose.  Thailand has wasted so many spaces on mine and china stamps on my last page.  Why don't they stamp in order of pages. I have ton of pages with one small stamp.  Shouldn't there be an international standard for stamping pages

Super frequent traveler here and ALWAYS ask the customer officer to stamp right by the other ones in a kind demeanor.  This is immensely important if you travel a lot.

No problem for a Thai visa exemption stamp. I have entered Thailand before with a similar passport.
