Ni. It's so as bad as it ever was.....

Often you're better off buying a simcard with 1 month data outside of usa. . To use in USA ...

Simcards in usa are expensive...

I have met a guy allows you where tonight entry on this he said he had a girlfriend a business a house in Thailand but for one and a half year he has been going in and out and not having the prope visas. My guess it's a nice technicality to pull out to show that we don't like what you're doing. Even if you have the money they probably could give you some amateur trouble. Nobody really has the right to enter any other country on Earth even the valid visa. You can always be the denied entry at the border to a country which you're not to citizen of.

For him the solution seemed to be that he would need to get a proper (new) visa to enter Thailand.

Typically these issues problems may disappear if you stay away for a while and if you fly in with a proper return ticket or next time. I never been off for return to get by the immigration officials but I see that it is legally requirement of an exempt entry. (Ive checked). I even asked an immigration officer last time I entered from Vietnam if I actually needed it after the airline had recorded and I had to buy one we officer said no you don't need it. Which again seems to be incorrect relative to the online information at immigration sites....

It's so funny because you need to residence certificate to get your driver license driver license actually have your address on it but that's not proof of address.... Lol
