Looking at coming back to thailand again soon. Currently in Indonesia, have seen a fewpost's now so want to hear peoples experiences..

Keep seeing and hearing about people being told at airline boarder that they've stayed in Thailand 'too long' and this would be their last time being given 60 days visa exemption.

Whats your experiences? Did the IO ask to see your outbound flight or proof of hotel booking etc? 

Fyi I was in Thailand last year 3 times 2 airline entry and 1 boarder crossing
