What a load of patronising wanker comments.

I recently extended at Samui 14 days prior to expiry date.

Oh dear. I'm the OP and the feed was very constructive until you threw your toys out of the pram.

You don't appear to have learned Thai diplomacy. That plus the general manner of your reply suggests you're just self projecting.

@Paul ******

Cheers Paul!

@Paul ******

wouldn't crossing a land border into Thailand raise a red flag?

@Paul ******

My feeling is that Thai immigration feels justified in expecting people who 'stayed for free' during covid to pay for their tourist visas. The problem seems to be people with covid extensions showing up without a visa and expecting a free visa waiver.

Thais don't think like Westerners. In visiting and living in their country it's up to us to accept their way of doing things, even if we don't agree with it.

@Mark *****

cheers!
