TLDR : Answer Summary
A traveler shared a positive experience at Bangkok's Don Muang Airport when entering Thailand from Bali, where they received a Visa Exempt stamp for one month without having to show additional documents. The process took about 7 minutes, including security checks, highlighting the efficiency and service quality. Comments reflect on the standard procedures for re-entry into Thailand, personal experiences with immigration waits, and well wishes for the traveler.

you are not considered a visa runner..... I would have expected that you have no problem entering, but thank you for updating.

It is the normal procedure. But good to read a post that even with a history of 5 years living inside Thailand and using the correct visa, it is no problem to re-enter for 30 days using the Visa Exempt Entry to clear up the things left behind and start a new live in Bali. Thanks and good luck.

Forigne should study, learning and accept Thai Immigration rule and law. Don't expect some special soup for somebody. I repeat EU and Schengen we also expect from our visitors VISA cooperation ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ‘
