Urgent question before applying

Hello everyone, I'm a Swiss citizen that want to apply for the DTV visa (soft power) from Switzerland

I been in Thailand already many times in the past 2 years but never overstayed and meanwhile exit from Thailand for small amount of time for work purposes in other countries.

I also had an minor issue for which I was processed and paid a small fine (possession of alprozolam for personal use but invalid prescription in Thailand) after it | left the country by myself no deportation no blacklist.

Questions:

- would you suggest me to contact the Thai Bern consulate, explain clearly my past in Thailand and question how big is the chance of being rejected ?

- in case that I apply and get approved I still have chance to be rejected once arrived in Thailand at the airport immigration ?

If you had a similar case like mine please reach out if you can help me with my case.

Thank you.

Hi all. Looking to do a border crossing/run in the next few weeks. Never done one before. Not sure if I'll be in pattaya or chiang mai. I know how to do them from pattaya but are they easy to do from chiang mai?

I have a US passport. Is there anyway I can enter Thailand at this time.

Maybe going to another country for a few months and then entering Thailand with the visa stamp from where I was staying?
