I got "tugged" in Phuket, coming back from Vietnam. I showed my return fight back to the UK and they let me in. Not before something was entered into the computer though.
Thank you, but it was originally 30 days, then 45 during Covid. Now, yes, it is 60 days, but , certainly in Phuket, you can’t extend it until there is 7 days or less left, on the original 60 days. And at a cost of 1,900 thb. I am not disbelieving anyone else’s experience, but that is mine in Phuket.
