TLDR : Answer Summary

A user reported difficulty in entering Thailand with a tourist visa via the Danok border, specifically noting that their British partner was denied entry. Other commenters speculated that the denial could be linked to previous travel history or other unspecified reasons, while one suggested an informal payment might have been requested at another border.

Offer 500b under the table. I was asked to give for entry at a land border in Northern side.

you don’t have to pay to go Myanmar. And 1 year you only can land border 2 time with Singapore passport. Once 2 time is up they will start ask you for your flight out to Thailand and tell you cannot land border anymore or so call visa run

500 baht or $10 US is the normal fee for non Thai to enter at Mai Sai/Tachilek border.

Not heard of any issues. Could have been their history of previous entries to Thailand that caused the rejection or any number of other reasons.
