Will my cancelled ED visa affect my entry into Thailand on a tourist visa?
I'm worried about denial entry. I canceled my ED visa after 8 months and now i want to return on a tourist visa. I will do fast track, pay at airport. But they have VIP fast track online. Do you think this is a deal breaker?

If you are worried the best thing to do is buy a tourist visa. As others have said make sure you have 20k Baht or equivalent, proof of transport out of Thailand and proof of accommodation.
Give yourself the best chance.

OPAndy Oswald ok. But ny country don't need tourist visa for 60 days. Even i have visa they still need to stamp my passport and will see my information so i don't see why i need to apply for it. There is also chance tourist visa get denied for whatever reason.

Oskar Ling yes you are correct a tourist visa will not guarantee you entry. It doesn't in any country that I know of.
BUT.
It will improve your chances of getting into Thailand.

Oskar Ling yes you do, go directly from Ed to visa exemption is asking for trouble . Get a turist visa from your home country first.

Oskar Ling Do you file a TM30 when staying at your apartment? You will need it if applying for a visa or an extension.
Ralph *******
Oskar Ling You need 20k baht.
Darren *******
Oskar Ling so just get the DTV before traveling?

, and they MAY want to see proof of where you are staying as well. This should be in your tdac submission anyway, but occasionally they DO want to see proof.

VIP fast track is not currently available.
Regular fast track will not make any difference.
At the bare minimum you should at least have the actual tourist visa, and not try entering visa exempt.
