What should I do if my Thai visa application was denied due to a doctor not being listed on a clinic's website?

Stéfan ********

Can you enter Thailand as a tourist multiple times in one year?

Stéfan ********

That should be ok. When performing your border bounce, make sure to have all the required documents: ongoing flight (or bus or train), 20k thb in cash and a hotel booking a few days. This is when they are more likely to check these.

There's no actual set limit, BUT, you will be questioned by immigration after a few back to back entries, and eventually refused entry, as they will want you to get a proper visa.

Why don't you simply get a job for 3 years and learn Thai? That's the simplest way. You make it seem like you're unemployable in Thailand. You can communicate in English? Just teach English.

Hanoi is more charming than HCM. I know both very well as I lived in Hanoi for a year and return to HCM yearly for a conference.
