I've met a lot of people who had to send back all their stuff cuz the custom was asking crazy $$$. You might bring something that got 0 value but if the custom says that has a million dollar value, u gotta pay taxes on it. Not a good idea and don't expect with little to no taxes. The thai need to bring their bread back home

it's possible they deny you enter in the kingdom. You've already got warned once and that was a red flag. I got questioned at the airport last year after a bit more than 4 months (and I was back home for a month). They asked me to show the ticket I was leaving the country and they wrote some notes on their pc. I got back after 6 months with a tourist visa and had no issues tho

you've already got asked which means u are running out of luck. How long have you been out of thailand in the past 2 years? Have you done visa runs every 2 months or you've also extended your stay up to 9?
Michael **********
it's highly possible that next time you try to get into thailand, you'll be pulled apart and questioned. It's also possible they'll deny entry the country.

you're right. HIV and syphilis are also on the list ;)

@Richard *************
if you go to pattaya a gonorrhea and/or chlamydia are way more likely than an eye infection ;)

the only reason you could get denied is if you try to apply for a teaching job (that drug arrest would matter) otherwise it won't affect getting a tourist visa
Michael **********
it's not easy to find a decent paid teaching job. you might end up with schools paying 1000us$/month. Korea pays the best, vietnam surely pays better than thailand

@Jack ***************
they just wanna make sure u are a legit tourist. I got a tourist visa the other month, went straight to the embassy in the morning, no questions asked and got it back a few hours later.

this is NOT correct. The officers at the airport can refuse you to get in even you've gotten a visa. Having a visa doesn't guarantee you can get in the country. (His visa application got denied, that should sound like a red flag)
