Just to reinforce what's been said before...came in to phuket today for visa exempt after using my final extension on METV while doing a same day flight bounce from KL. IO wanted to know what I was doing in Thailand and only finally gave me a stamp after showing flight back home in <30 days. Had the 20000 and condo lease ready if he asked but did not...not really sure what he would have said if I only showed a flight to a neighboring country...
