where I am and what I am doing is not really the issue and it is not important for you to know all the details which can change as plans change. What does not change is the requirement in multiple visa application processes for an invitation letter if you plan to stay with family or friends. However what if they do not fit into the box that immigration like to think everyone exists in?

@Tim ********

well obviously I can be bothered. That is why I completed the evisa application. What I am also free to do is report and reflect on the realities and mock people who melt when I do that.

@Lynnette ******

you have read the evisa application and the options for accommodation? No? I thought so, by your non thought about comment.

the rules and guidance are vague and interpreted differently by different ports, embassy, immigration departments, police,and agents are there because of the deliberate confusion designed to create money spinning enterprises some are convinced are necessary and value for money. No wonder many foreigners are viewed as having more money than sense, falling for it so many times.

@Bo *******

believe me, it came as a surprise when it happened. But happen it did, hence a claim for compensation will be filed. The check-in clerk was a know nothing jobsworth.

@Tim *****

the difference here, if you failed to spot it, is they are only asking if you will leave before 90 days. Not asking for a complete itinerary even if you only give a fictional story. The main point is, why ask for itinerary details and then look like you are just time wasting and trying to overcomplicate matters and not actually have any infrastructure or policies and procedures to require anyone to do what they put on the form. Just another case of state brutality and a hostile environment for the sake of making a few baht. Not a proven method for earning respect...

@Tim *****

well the last 3 times I have been it took 5 minutes to complete on my phone at the airport or ferry terminal. So yes, I still feel free to follow my desire to visit a great place with great people. I think what you missed is it is up to 3 days before departure.

@Greta ****

you took your time reaching that conclusion. But well done for trying. I like a trier.

@Kirsten ********

it is okay to respond to nonsense and be chill at the same time. You would be better of advising some of the knobbers in this group to get a grip.

@Nick ***********

it's great. Here for 7 days then back home to ting tong life, bending not breaking the rules because the rules are nonsensical. Designed to create a market for agents to milk cash vows.
