Question.

Has anyone encountered issues on returning to Thailand after just doing a flying out and flying back in within 24hours but on 2 calendar days?

#tourist visa/ Visa exemption.

#maxed out last visa.
Answer summary
Returning to Thailand after a brief trip abroad on a tourist visa or visa exemption can present challenges, particularly if you've maxed out your last visa. Immigration control might ask for proof of funds (20,000 THB or equivalent), accommodation details, and onward travel. This scrutiny is more common for individuals who have a pattern of consecutive tourist visas or visa exemptions.

Immigration can ask for 3 proofs on arrival: 20.000 Thb cash or equivalent currency, accommodation and onward travel. There are normally only asked to people with a history of back to back tourist visa's and Visa Exempt Entries.

PDF editing flights tickets now.

I love HKE promo flights and the shower facility plus the ice, hot and cold water dispenser and good Wi-Fi there.

Great for not having to stay one night at hotel due to late arrivals.

If you have all 3 proofs the chance of deny entry is small, but it stays the decision of the Immigration Officers.

OK. That's easy.

At least not deny entry
