does that just mean having to go to Savanakhet every 90 days and and getting a single entry Non O visa or have they put a limited on how many times a year you can do that ??

I guess that means it going to be a good result for the crooked visa agents in Pattaya and Bangkok 🥺 wonder if any other Thai consulate in another country does the Non O without the proof of 400k in a bank account

Strange to hear that. I got my 1yr multi entry visa just 4 Weeks ago and was amazed how painless and easy it was

Just all the documents recommended on the Laos consulate website 🤔

Yes my entry history isn’t perfect but as you say it’s down to the immigration officer

Bit of advice try to find a immigration booth where there are officers with a few bands on their Epaulettes (shoulders) means they abit more relaxed about using their discretion it’s the rookie officers who get a bit nervous 👍

Just have a copy of an outbound flight ready in your hand within the 30 days visa period expidia let you purchase and cancel without any costs involved

Show this to any over zealous immigration officer and maybe have a recent ATM slip handy proving you have funds and you will definitely be okay

I recently got pulled over entering Suvarnabhumi airport after my T/R visa and 30 day extension ran out

Like your thinking now I went to Danang for a few days and re- entered on a visa exemption but the immigration officer called over the supervisor and after a few minutes pleading he said okay this time 30 days no more tourist visa for 6 months and advised me to get a Non O visa next time

Yes it’s a pain when they do that it’s one of the reasons I applied for a new 48 page passport when I left the UK 👍
