ORIGINAL POSTER

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

The writer seeks experiences from others, noting that there's a perception of being questioned about their stay duration, and mentions the importance of having an outbound flight and hotel booking. Commenters suggest obtaining a proper visa, carrying cash, and ensuring an onward ticket to avoid complications.
