Thailand Visa ED Visa Tourist Visa Visa Requirements Immigration Visa Run

ORIGINAL POSTER

Just on my way back to Thailand from Hanoi with my second ED Visa safely in passport. When I went to drop my paperwork off I was amazed at the number of people being turned away (6+)  who were applying for tourist visas, because they didn't have the paperwork to show a flight out of Thailand. I don't understand why people don't read the guidelines and make sure they have the correct paperwork. It saves so much stress and wasted time. Just hoping I get through immigration at Don Mueng without hassle!
