ORIGINAL POSTER

I first entered Thailand in September, completed my 90-day reporting, and left for Kuala Lumpur before reaching the 180-day limit. After spending two days there, I returned and landed at DMK today..immigration was smooth with no questions asked. My DTV has now been stamped for another 180 days.
