I wonder what the logic of the gates is for deciding if someone can enter Thailand or not?

I don't want to add any more confusion to the equation 555 after 4 trips to Oz she still asks me why she can come through the automated but I can't go through autogates in Thailand.Graeme **********
@Brett ********
you can ask for a stamp. Gov employees often need details of travel for security clearances and the easiest way is to just look at the departure and entry stamps in a passport.

. Correct visa (if needed ) . No criminal warrants. No red flags.All stored in the microchip inside your passport including your biometrics.
Any issues and you are denied and sent to normal queue.

OPMight have something to do with Aus and NZ having them for years that ANY person with an e passport can use to enter.. including Thais.

Great! I once was kinda ashamed to be Aussie but today I am thankful. We are a weird mob but good guys. So are Kiwis! But them Pommies are a worry.
It is not discrimination to judge people on behaviour. It is common sense. I like Thai people! 12 years here I have always been treated well.

Guarantee you that more Indians per head of capita are kicked out of Thailand than Aussies or Kiwis combined. I’ve been approached many times in Bangers by your dodgy mates on the street trying to flog fake watches. Work permits........don’t think so. So pull ya head in mate.Graeme **********
