What is the arrival experience for Italian travelers without a visa to Bangkok during the quarantine period?

Hello everyone, as I promised, I am going to share with you how was my arrival at bkk. I am Italian and I travel without a visa, (I have 30 days before my arrival rn bkk) my flight originates from Santo Domingo on Monday, November 30, for this reason I have to do 7 days of quarantine, I arrived in Miami at 8 am. on November 30, and I left for Doha with Qatar Airways at 8.30 pm. 1- the airline asks you for all the documents and they check them exhaustively ... they say that I have 45 days, and above all they want to see a flight out of Thailand within 30 days, so I had no problems because I had a flight from exit for Pnhon phen, of course the Thailand Pass is the first document they ask for together with negative rt-pcr tests, then when arriving in bkk, there are 3 checks, the first one only asks for Thailand Pass and negative rt-pcr tests, then a The second check asks you for all the documents and at the end you arrive at the real customs office where the migration official asks you for another cez all the documents, but here the surprising thing was that he did not ask me to show him the exit ticket before 30 days, he only wanted to see where I was going to stay after coming out of quarantine and it was enough to show him a business card with the address or telephone number of the condominium where I always stay ... and I immediately stamp my passport with 30 days ... now I'm in c I quarantine at Lohas Recidences in Sukumvit, and the Thai visa company tells me that I can opt for 60 days of visas due to covid .. of course I will do it when I get out of the "quarantine jail" ... I hope these experiences be useful for anyone ... and always thanks to everyone ..

TLDR : Answer Summary
An Italian traveler recounts their experience arriving in Bangkok without a visa, highlighting the necessity of a Thailand Pass and a negative RT-PCR test. The traveler had to undergo a 7-day quarantine upon arrival from Santo Domingo. They detail the airline's stringent document checks and the three layers of checks upon arrival in Bangkok, including customs. They received a 30-day stamp and learned about the possibility of extending their stay due to COVID regulations. Comments from the community provide insights into immigration practices and advice on visa extensions.

You will be stamped a normal 30 day extension first before covid extension.. But then again the IO might be generous ...

Immigration almost never asks for your onward travel (they can, but often don't). The airline is almost always where you still run into problems because it's in their interest to enforce every rule as strictly as possible to protect themselves.

exactly because they are responsible to bringing you back to your original departure if you are refused entry.
