That depends what country your passport is issued by.

FWIW: IF you are denied entry into the country under section 12. There are only so many clauses they can cite.
This is Section 12 of the immigration act and the reasons you can be denied entry.

Joshua Wong the activist from Hong Kong who was supposed to speak at Chula with Netiwit in Oct 2016 was denied entrance based on #7 :O

I love some of the wording :) I wonder if anyone has been refused entry on the 'Likelihood of being a nuisance' under section 7?

Is it possible to enter at another border if denied at certain border? For example you come back by bus fron Laos at Udon Thani and they reject you.. can you fly from Laos to Bangkok and try to enter there on the same Visa?

They were NOT deported they were denied entry. In order to get deported you have had to be stamped into thailand, they weren't.
They were not banned or blacklisted meaning they can try to re-enter thailand. Their visa wasn't canceled or voided either so they could use it to try to enter thailand at another time.

@Johny *********
he actually doesn't need to apply again for a tourist visa. That visa wasn't canceled because he wasn't allowed into the country.Johny **********
OPAha so he can apply again ? That’s good to know and very helpful information thank you

Unfortunately having a VISA to thailand doesn't guarantee you get in to thailand. I don't know the story on this case but those were the reasons they were denied entry into the country.

@Jo***
, The reasons they put on the denial of enter were the reasons I posted. I can't give you any more information than that. The clause 2 says they have no booked place to stay when they are here, meaning they didn't have a confirmed hotel booking or proof of lodging.
Clause 9 said they have no way to support themselves while they are here meaning they did not have sufficient funds in the eyes of the immigration officers.
Did they have 20K baht in cash, a confirmed hotel booking AND proof they were going to leave the country within 60 days?

OPThank you
That’s exactly my question was why they not allowed to entry into Thailand ?
He got money and he got VISA .
Actually I spoke to one of immigration officer he didn’t explained me why he deporting him back.
