Mÿ friend (Belgium passport) is backpacking and spent about a month in Thailand, then went to laos for a few weeks, came back to Thailand (for a total of another three weeks) and is planning to go to Cambodia next. His return flight (already booked) is from Bangkok though. He is now worried that he won't be allowed entry a third time (first entry via airplane, second via bus, both on visa exempt). I told him not to worry as he has a booked flight and intends to take that flight but he asked me to verify. Any thoughts?TIA
TLDR : Answer Summary
A user is inquiring if their friend from Belgium, who has backpacked in Thailand multiple times (on visa exempt entries), will face issues re-entering Thailand for a third time. Most responses suggest there shouldn't be any issues since he has a booked return flight, but some caution about the border crossing situation and advise avoiding specific land borders like Poipet due to potential immigration issues. Users suggest that while normally returning travelers have no problems, there have been reports of individuals being denied entry at certain crossings.
