Should I ignore the warning from Thai immigration and enter on a visa exempt stamp or apply for an eVisa?

Maybe Phuket would be better than Bangkok but looks like you have already raised red flags ,up to you to take the chance or not just remember to have everything in line ,return flight ,proof of accommodation and 20,000 baht in money

This also happened to me and I had been out of the country for 6 months. They told me this would be my last exemption and to get a visa next time. It would seem they are cracking down so, I'd get the visa if I were you.

Get a DTV then you can come and go for 5 years

my guess, you weren't just warned, you also got "flagged" in the Immigrations central computer. So any Immigration official would be able to see that you have been warned previously. I would heed James Miller's advice

It would be a mistake to ignore the warning, because you were warned 🤔 if you get turned around is anyone's guess

I received my non o evisa in Australia in 3 days

How long were you staying on these frequent visa exempt stamps?

You pay your money and take your chance but if you decide to roll the dice, at least have the 3 proofs in hand and also be prepared to be turned around and sent back on the next flight.

You are on thin ice.... you've been warned and advised to get the correct Thai Visa for your entry into Thailand. Be prepared for questions from Thai Immigration Officers upon arrival. With possible DENIED ENTRY.

Follow the wise advice from

Good Luck...

Nobody can advise you on this, it's a lottery, but one of your own making.

Not really much you can do other than have proof you're flying out in the days you will be stamped in, proof of 20K baht or the equivalent in CASH and proof of lodging..

Those are the things they can ask for when you fly in free stamp entry and those are the things they WILL ask for if they are going to hassle you on entering.

This ain't the thailand when people could come in and out endlessly on free 30 day stamps without much problem, since they went to 60 day entry stamps they got a LOT more critical as far as previous entry/stay history at all airports (even the soft touch ones) and many hundreds of people are indeed denied entry to thailand by air every week (which is actually a tiny number of the actual people who stamp in during a week 🙂 )

Remember even having a single entry tourist visa isn't a guarantee you get IN to the country, only that if they let you in they have to stamp you in for the number of days the visa allows.
