No guarantees for sure, you could be pulled aside for further questioning. You will need an ongoing flight confirmed imo

GL but no one on here can give you the answer.

ArticulatePoodle5170 Most often they will send you back to where you departed from. Sometimes they will make you go back to your passport country, and even more rarely they will let you go wherever you want.

And if I decline. I can't go back to Vietnam because I need visa. So they will send me home. Better exit and return to Vietnam. It sad Thailand to risky those days

Make sure you have the 3 proofs, as they give extra scrutiny to many people who have previously had an ED visa.
