Hello. 

General question - I'm a holder of two passports. Have the Thai Immigration officers access to history records of how many times I entered Thailand as a person? I mean one time I will enter/leave Thailand with one passport, next time I will enter/leave Thailand with another passport. 

Are there any records for me as a person, that I visited Thailand with both passports and when? Or they only check the stamps on my passport and do not have any records of my entries to Thailand electronically. I'm asking because of the entry/visa rules. Both passports are in the Visa Exemption system. 

Thank you.

Answer summary

The Thai Immigration Officers have access to a person’s entire immigration history, including entries made with different passports. They utilize facial recognition and fingerprint scans to match individuals with their past records, meaning all visits to Thailand are documented electronically and accessible to the officers.

The Thai Immigration Officer who greets you on arrival into Thailand knows ALL OF YOUR IMMIGRATION HISTORY.

.... Facial recognition software matches you with any passport you have now and ever held before.

..,.. Fingerprints also matches you.

..... Your entire Thai Immigration history is on the Officers computer screen

Suggest you get a correct Thai Visa for your planned trip and stay in Thailand.
