Minimize the risk mate. have 20k baht in your bag, have forward tickets, have a solid address, and if possible some sort of proof of address or booking.....I hear some people take a rental contract.....but I am not sure that is a good idea for a 30 day stamp......as why would you have one on a 30 day stamp......As said people do it for years......and you are SUPPOSED to be able to do it with no restrictions.....but if you get some snotty IO who is having a bad day, they make make trouble for you for sure.......Also avoid the females in immigration (my experience).....in the long run and to avoid being nervous when you arrive, aim for a visa wherever possible.........You are youngish like me and long term visas are NOT easy to come by............if you are cashed up you could consider the 5 year 500k Elite visa, but that is a lot of cash at one time.

Yes I have been pulled aside and then came in again the next time on another 30 stamp. But my arse was a little puckered when I did....!!!!

I have been rotating for a good few years. Been on many a 30 day stamp. I did have the occasional tourist visa when off work.....There is no real formula for when you will get stopped or not. You could get a warning this time and then come in next time with no issues at all. Really though with such a regular rotation in and out of Thailand we are not tourists, so a long term visa option should be considered. You look too young for a retirement visa right...?

If a baby is born out of wedlock then you are not the father EVEN if you later get married and even if the baby has an Australian passport.. You have to be legitimized as the father in a Thai court. I am about to do this myself, so I am fairly familiar with the issue :( Still doesn't make me want to get legally married though....LOL :) You can only do as Rob said....90 day outside the country.....

Born out of wedlock means you have zero parental rights unfortunately. Got to go to court and it can take a while.

LOL.....Well if she gets to FOLLOW without just pressing like, then I get to LIKE without liking..... :)

No you don't generally. That is if you already have one. In the application process you may have to show some tickets...

No misinformation here ;)

She said in her post....."I will be applying for the 6 month tourist visa instead, and am worried that they will deny me the visa (even though I will have all of the appropriate paperwork) due to having many stamps in and out of Thailand in the past few years in this passport"..........The answer to this question....is YES, get a new passport. What happens on arrival at the airport is a whole nother story. She only asked about getting the visa and for that getting a new passport will 100% improve her chances of getting that visa. FACT :)
