No...you can certainly use land crossings. Don't come back the same day...otherwise it's OK.

No surprises there considering there shouldn't be any issues with the DTV.

@Matthew ***

unlikely...especially as APEC card holders.

No. Not reporting your stay in China can affect re-entry to China (Beijing specifically) but there is no similar enforcement mechanism for Thailand.

Nothing much to worry about unless you need to do a TM47 90 day report and even then you can just do a TM30 on that day and you'll be fine.

No. However, it might still be a good idea to spend a couple of days outside the country between entries.

Anonymous participant 949It's very very unlikely you'd need to show any such docs if you're on a DTV. Never heard of anyone being asked for such proof. Verbal proof, maybe but not documented proof.

Anonymous participant 638 What you did in the past may in fact be an issue...even if you hold a DTV now.

A. Nony Mous My friend said it was because it was mainly Cambodians and other brown foreigners pulled aside...however, it doesn't mean this happens everyday.

Still, Suvarnabhumi is way better...not worth flying Air Asia (which frankly isn't likely to be any cheaper than a full service carrier on a short haul route anyway) especially if it may come with less friendly treatment once you arrive at the airport.

Also, look up my post from like 2 weeks ago...Thai immigration gave him a form to fill out with his contact details and they did this to nearly all foreigners coming off the Air Asia Siem Reap flight.

No, not at all. He has spent little time in Thailand in recent years on visa exempt entry. No more than a few weeks in 2023 and 2024 combined.

He was saying Thai immigration is racially profiling travelers. He's non-white, but travels on an Australian passport, his only citizenship.
