Hey

Entered into bkk Suvarnabhumi airport last night, it was super busy huge lineups. I picked the line that seemed to be moving the fastest

But when the girl seen my DTV Visa  and digital arrival card information she asked me, What’s your employment ?? and I said nil at the moment but I’m here on the DTV visa

She said doing what? I said Thai nature course, monthly seminar, and she laughed and I said well I was gonna do Muay Thai, and she said oh what you expect them to be for five years ? and I just said well that’s what the consulate approved it for.

She noticed on my phone cover a picture of my Thai girlfriend and she said to me this is why I get angry, if you lie !!! next time just say you’re coming to spend time with your girlfriend …… and then she stamped in frustration and I went through, but that left me really confused. It’s almost like she wants me to say I’m not here to do anything. I’m just here to spend time with my girlfriend……

I did notice them pulling a lot of people aside so I do think they’re getting a lot more strict now. As regardless what my tv soft power was she could still laugh and have that attitude

I've heard that Thailand is currently making it challenging for travelers to enter the country, even for those who have obtained a visa. Can anyone provide more information or insights on this issue? Has anyone recently traveled to Thailand and encountered difficulties upon arrival? I'd appreciate any updates or advice on what to expect when planning a trip to Thailand.
