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.

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.

I did a change of address and 90 day report at Korat Immigration a few weeks ago. I didn’t need any forms as both officers (ladies) did it all for me in their computer system. The whole process took less than 30 minutes.

Hope you have the same luck tomorrow.

When I updated my new passport info a couple years ago (Bangkok Bank Siam Paragon), they didn't even tell me what they were doing until they were finished. They actually CLOSED my account and opened a new account with the new info.
