How is immigration in ko Samui arriving from Singapore? I have stayed 185 days within 12 months genuine tourism have not overstayed or done border runs just been travelling around Asia past year on savings
Answer summary
The conversation discusses the immigration situation in Koh Samui for someone who has stayed 185 days within a 12-month period after arriving from Singapore. Commenters mention that Koh Samui has relaxed immigration practices, but staying over 180 days can pose challenges. It's suggested to be cautious with visa status, as being denied entry could be likely with extensive stay durations. Additionally, there is a light-hearted reference to becoming a tax resident and discussions regarding the number of days spent in Thailand.

Immigration in Samui is one of the most relaxed in the country.
That being said, 185 is a lot nowadays..

I seriously wouldn't try and come in visa exempt again, in fact I wouldn't even suggest trying a tourist visa. Your chances of being denied entry are pretty high at that level.Activity
