ORIGINAL POSTER

Hi everyone...just a head's up if you have dual nationalities....I tried to leave Thailand on my south African passport and reenter from Penang overland with my British and they would not allow it...even though I had a 2 month visa in my other passport...so the only way to switch passports is if you fly in again!
