What should you do if Immigration detains you in Thailand and you need urgent advice?

And I think we're done with this topic too.

To sum it up;

the immigration rules are the immigration rules and whether you think they're fair or not matters not at all. They are what they are, deal with it.

Off topic comments on threads like those need constant monitoring by admins. If the admins are online at the time then, although it’s a bit time consuming, it can be done by admins deleting off topic comments. If they’re not online (admins have lives, other things to do) then things get out of hand quite quickly.

In some of the groups I admin for, people are quite responsible. In others, not so much.

I did not have a phone when I was almost deported at poi pet border, only a canon camera with me and 2k baht cash. But I able to fix the problem by complying the requirements. However, if I was held at the airport, surely I would end up in jail without my family knowing it.

I am gonna ask people ONE time to stay ON topic and then start banning people.

This is NOT a discussion about being profiled in another country, it's not a discussion about something you heard from a friend who has a friend in immigrations it's about one thing.

A person trying to enter on a visa exempt entry (with possibly several other visa exempt entries under their belt already) got denied entry because they FAILED to meet the requirements, period end of story.

No matter what anyone thinks, ANYONE can be asked to meet the 3-proof-ofz when stamping into the country. Those are

proof of funds (20K baht or the equivalent in CASH)

proof of onward travel (within the period of time you're stamped in for)

proof of a hotel booking or confirmed lodging

Failing to meet ANY of those requirements if you're asked is grounds for denial of entry.

AND the immigration does have the ability to send you back to either where you came from OR to your country of passport origin.

For the last time keep this on topic.

That's not the case in Singapore. They will ask you to put all your belongings in the locker and you can only access it whenever you need something. Other than that no choice until you get your next flight out.

Busted...

I don’t have any issues with it . Except having to carry it in cash . I generally just carry cards

You can charge your phone in that room whatever they call it. At least that at 700 baht a night.
