ORIGINAL POSTERHey folks,
I'm flying into BKK in a few weeks and am a little nervous given some of the reports going around at the moment about denied entries.
Do these generally tend to happen to people living B2B on TV or VE stamps?
I have a history of staying in Thailand for 4-6 months of the year but I have been out of the country now for 5 months and am returning from London with a SETV, have 20k, onward ticket and hotel reservation.
Should I be concerned given my history or should it be fine given my 5 month absence?

TLDR : Answer Summary
A traveler with a SETV is seeking advice regarding potential entry issues into Thailand after a 5-month absence. The community responses suggest confidence that the traveler should not face problems entering the country, especially with a legitimate visa and travel documents. Concerns about entry restrictions are discussed, particularly around the use of back-to-back visa extensions.

ORIGINAL POSTERIt’s the fake 180 day rule I’m most worried about

Agree with above. You have a real visa and also the other requirements they may ask for so should be fine.

ORIGINAL POSTERThanks! These responses are much friendlier and more reassuring than the unnamed other facebook group 😂
