You will be receiving your entry stamp from Bangkok. The only way you could receive a Samui stamp is if your flight was arriving directly into Samui from Singapore or one of the few other cities which have international flights to Samui.

It's all accurate information.

@John ******

That's the same thing

With a DTV no issue for coming back to Thailand even on the same day, but best to do such runs via land or using a service.

@Toni ******

Firstly, Singaporean or Malaysian immigration might be suspicious of why you would leave as soon as you entered. If you're staying for a full day, that's fine but not if you're turning around as soon as you entered.

Secondly, Thai immigration doesn't take kindly to same day air border runs. Each individual will have different experiences, but I've heard a lot of horror stories.

Land based runs are better. Especially if you use a service, which brings you across and back.

@Toni ******

Depends on the circumstances.

@Chris ********

Enough dude...you're blabbering now

@Chris ********

You're talking nonsense. You DO need a bank account. Otherwise, you simply use your card (from any country). Not rocket science.

@Chris ********

You need to transfer funds INTO Thailand to buy a condo here. Bank of Thailand regulation.

@Chris ********

You can't do that! You obviously need a bank account.
