I know people have been saying they've had issues entering in Phuket but I just went through immigration in Phuket. No issues at all! Took less than 5 minutes. Even had a laugh with the officer who served me. First time entering on my DTV! I will be going in and out of Bangkok a lot for the rest of the year so will keep you updated.

Thailand wants more tourists not less. The amount being questioned is infinitesimal compared to those who sail through with no issues.

Glad all went well! 99% of the people posting here are the ‘went wrong / doom’ stories, so it seems like a lot, but yes in reality its 0,0001% of everyone successfully entering and not even posting it on FB😄

Anonymous participant 797 yeah that's why I posted! Because while it's good to be aware, it can cause people unnecessary stress.
