Four years ago I got a new passport.

Bangkok Bank couldn’t even update that info to my account. Their only solution was to close my account and open a new one.

Way back when, I extended my tourist visa in Bangkok. Just showing them my hotel keycard was good enough.

Totally depends on the immigration office you’re using. In Korat, I had them my passport and one minute later I am leaving.

Lot of these girls are stuck in a situation. “Pimp isn’t the word they use but that is what they are to the girls. I have personally seen husbands and boyfriends be very active pimps. You can still find the occasion fathers right there watching his personal investment bring home the bacon!

Not just a strong second, but I’ve seen “bar opening possibilities” popping up quite often now.

Opening any bar goes by the same three year rule that restaurants have - first year loose lots of money, second year loose money, third year loose/make no money. If your not bankrupt for the forth year = you’ve got a business.

It’s simple math and that’s how it works everywhere.

There is also the chance that someone else with very similar information kinda matched your p/p and he was just verifying that you were not the “bad person”in question!

Just as a note: The checking flow goes - check birthday, check name and see if there are similarities needing closer scrutiny. If needed they will see every time you have passed through immigration for the past 10 year even if using a different passport.

In literally hundreds of entries into Thailand, I have never been asked to show on onward ticket.

BUT, I have flown many airlines and everyone of them has demanded an onward ticket or NO boarding pass to go to Thailand. Reason: IF immigration denied you entry for this reason, the airline is responsible to fly you back to your starting point.

Actually yes, my 90 day report included a stop at Macro!

My post was just to tell my experience. In the past I’ve seen many people say they were not able to get the on-line system to work.

Never been asked at BKK immigration, but have always been asked to show my onward fight when checking in from the USA!
