Hello,
I was in the same situation. I just came back Thailand after 10 days in my country. Big hassle in Bangkok immigration. You have spent 2 month away, it should be better for you. Make sure you have enough money as you may have to show your bank account.

How do you get them to make so many stamps on so few pages. In my passport it looks like no immigration officer wants to put two stamps on one page.

This was hard to read. The advice I’ve seen is to not enter via Bangkok but instead enter via Phuket and you are less likely to experience a hassle. I’m not sure how valid this is but ..

I think what you are trying to ask is if others who previously stayed in Thailand on a "Covid" extension have problems entering Thailand? Some do, some don't. A lot depends on where you enter and what the immigration officer you speak to on entry says. Nobody can tell you if you will have a problem or not

Assuming this is a legitimate question, your visa starts the day you enter the country, not when you finish quarantine. Also, there is no more 14 day quarantine.
And yes, many people have left the country and reentered after having Covid extensions.

I also heard they stop you on inmigration for questioning if you had covid extensions. Do you know what are they questioning or what are they looking for?

That's why you can apply for the Thai Pass online. They will check your passport number in the system and if they approve then you're fine.Reigne ******************

coming back to Thailand is just like you've never been here. You do the entry process getting the ThaiPass, and having covid insurance. The amount is now down to US$10,000 worth of covid insurance, and no PCR test for covid.Activity
