Hi Guys, I 'm coming over to Thailand for a week , maybe longer, from Vietnam at the beginning of August.  I will be entering on my passport with no visa application, same as i did back in May, basically as a tourist, but then I had a return ticket.  So, a couple of questions....  

Will I need to show that I have a return ticket back to Nam?

How long does the tourist stamp last? I believe it's 30 days, isn't it ?

Correct me if I am wrong, but, if i am offered a job in Thailand during my stay there, I presume I will have to leave and come back in on a Non Imm B to carry on my stay there, yes?  or can that be done at a local  Immigration office without leaving the country, as I believe it can be with the correct application paperwork from an employer???

Answer summary

The user is planning to travel to Thailand from Vietnam without a visa, like during their previous visit. They have questions regarding the necessity of a return ticket, the duration of the tourist stamp (believed to be 30 days), and the process for transitioning to a Non-Immigrant B visa if offered a job in Thailand.

I suggest you don't try it from Laos or the Phillipines.

Generally if flying within the region, they are not so strict on the return ticket.

Flying you can do "unlimited" but do it often and they ask more questions.
