Wow, what happened to that post about someone not getting stamped in? I came back to the p/c and it's gone :O :/ 

Maybe she found the arrival stamp after all ;)

Answer summary

The community discussed a situation where a traveler might not have received an entry stamp upon arriving in Thailand. It was advised that if someone is not stamped in correctly, they can visit any immigration office for correction. However, if an entry stamp is completely missing, the person must return to the original border checkpoint for rectification.

In only marginally related news;

IF you are stamped in wrong you can go to any immigration office and get it corrected

However IF you fail to get an entry stamp (for what ever reason) you must go back to the border checkpoint you entered thailand on and get it corrected there.

@Mar***

, you can apply for a 30 day extension on a 30 day visa exempt stamp or a 60 day tourist visa stamp at ANY immigration office in the country as long as you use an address that's in the area they service. Meaning if you're using the Samui immigration office you need to be using a Samui address for where you're staying.

here's the address to the immigration office on Samui:

333 Maenam Road, Soi 1 Moo 1,

Tambon Maenam, Amphoe Koh Samui

, you can use an immigration office where you're staying so if you're on Samui you can use them for the extension.

they do stick those stamps in out of the way places ;) That's why I asked if you looked at every page, believe it or not this happens a LOT.

Good thing you didn't have to go to Suvarnabhumi and get a new stamp :)
