Just another anecdote about how it's a lottery what the agent attitude is when entering the country. Came in from a week in Malaysia (side note Kota Kinabalu is garbage). It is my second entry this year. Both by air. I was in line 5. Line 4 processed about 3x the people (god I hate picking the wrong line!) I got to the sour face dirty look monster, gave my passport and itinerary, she motioned to put my hand on the thing then turned up the volume on her scowl. Asked how long I would stay. I said 30 days. More frowning. She called over a guy in a uniform.

What she didn't know is my Thai partner had already gone through and was standing behind her. She did not hear what the lady said, but the man she called over said "it's no problem" I asked "did I do wrong?" She said "you stay too long" she turned to the officer next to her more angry hissing then "it's no problem" then she gave me my stamp and almost shouted "don't stay so long next time!"

Did not ask why I stay, did not have any interest in anything, did not ask about forward ticket or lodging. Just was slow for everyone in her line and then nasty. I am sure karma will find her. Or maybe I kicked a puppy and she was karma coming back to me.
