Hello, 

I have a question. I was in Thailand previously and had a mix of Ed visas, B visas, and tourist visas. I got denied entry at the airport in Bangkok last August for not having 20,000 baht cash on me but then entered by land and was in Thailand until about March. I am now working in Burma and have a B visa here (way easier!). I am planning on flying into Bangkok to get a new B visa from the Burmese consulate in Burma. I will have my flight back to Yangon booked and a letter for my Burmese B visa. I am planning on being there for a week. I want an in person visa and not an e-visa because if I get three b visas at the same consulate in a row I can get a one year B visa (weird Burmese rules).   Do you think there is a high chance of getting denied entry when entering Thailand? 

Thanks,

Okay, no one is going to tell you that you're going to get stamped in without a problem OR that you're going to be questioned and asked for proof of funds, proof of onward travel and proof of a hotel booking (all things you CAN be asked for when you stamp into the country)

I'd say be prepared with proof of funds and proof of onward travel, and hope for the best.

Your best bet would be to have the 3 proofs and evidence that you are going to the Myanmar embassy then leaving again. Bear in mind though that there seems to have been a spike in denials of entry recently

Which airport knocked you back?

It all depends on the IO at the airport.

I don’t think anyone on here can give you a definitive yes or no answer.

Yeah... the problem is then I would have to fly from Mandalay to mawaddy. Cross. And then fly Mae Sot to Bangkok. A bit of a pain in the ass.
