How straightforward is the immigration entry process in Thailand based on personal experiences?
A lot of people claiming different experiences, would be interesting to see just how the numbers stack up with a simple poll, entry was straight forward or not.

This is not a straightforward question as many people have had a lot of entries. I myself have entered 5 times and only this last time was I questioned (see my post from last week). So in order to give a fair representation in this poll I should be able to select the first option 4 times and the second option once.

the poll says last entry!Mick *****
OP@Sascha *********
I too have 5 entries however there is a perception they are cracking down, a belief that recently the incidents of questions is higher and for that reason (recently) I only asked about the last entry. I was just wondering out of say 100 people how many got questioned on their most recent entry. to ascertain the current level. But hey you can always do your own poll :)Sascha **********

oh my bad, I missed the bit about last entry 🫣Alex *********
The problem people who got questioning by immigration for the reason don't want to share them experience. And most of them not English speaking not in this group.

Agree. Plus, anyone who was initially denied entry but negotiated a bribe for entry isn't going to post, at least, not with their real name.Alex *********
