What happens if I am denied entry to Bangkok during a stopover in Singapore?

Is there anyone who flew to Bangkok with a stopover in Singapore and was denied entry? I'm wondering if they'll send you back to Singapore or to your country of origin.

TLDR : Answer Summary

The discussion revolves around the potential outcomes for travelers denied entry into Bangkok, particularly those with a stopover in Singapore. Comments suggest that if entry is denied, travelers may be sent back to their country of origin, the place they boarded their flight, or may have the option to choose where to go next after paying for a new ticket. Advice is given to obtain the appropriate visa beforehand to avoid such issues.

You are free to chose and pay your ticket and move where do you want .

Immigration can't decide where you can go if they denied enter or visa

But they can confine into a detention cell while you decide where to go, if you can.

ORIGINAL POSTER

@Tony ********

Next week I'm leaving for Thailand, arriving on December 28th and departing on January 18th.

My previous trips to Thailand in the past 12 months were: -December 28 to January 19

-April 30 to April 20

-August 20 to September 8

In November, I went to Cambodia for 10 days.

The chance of being denied entry is slim, but I was wondering what my options would be in the worst-case scenario.

I came back out in November 25 and after 2 weeks travelled to Vietnam and Cambodia for three weeks. I had no trouble entering Thailand five days ago.

My advice. If you are expecting to get denied entry, or think you might be, get a visa appropriate to your visit before you travel.

I can not imagine being denied entry into Thai.

110 times over 25 years. Stays mostly 3-4 days, others one month (when it was the rule for visa exemption).

Touristing all over Thailand, hotels, interesting places my Thai wife picked.

Look at this. Khon Kaen, trying to find our hotel, we (me, as the driver) of a rentacar, got into one way street, opposite direction.

Policeman stopped me. Called his commander (they were hunting no helmet motorbike riders, they were 20 of them) and what happened?

The Thai police commander spoke to my Thai daughter (then 17), "Noong, passa Thai) she told him we were lost.

The police commander ordered his policeman, on BMW white high power bike, to lead us to our hotel.

No fine.

Khon Kaen.That is why I have always Isaan.

The country you boarded first most likely. I'm sure transit stops don't count.

Your layover is irrelevant. If you're denied entry, you will be forced to purchase a ticket to where the immigration officer decides. That will be one of 3 places, in this order of likelihood.

1) where your flight originated

2) your passport country

3) a place of your choice
