That's fair. The judge however, is the IO, and each of them is different, which always leads to confusion. I really did believe that I was doing the right thing, and according to the law.

It sounds like everyone has to respect the 'mood' of the immigration officer more than the law itself. Thank you for all the replies.

I had forgotten about that. My apologies. Does that change anything?

I got my first visa in March 2024, but it was a 60 day tourist visa attained through the embassy. My second visa was the 60 days on arrival.

Thanks, John. I am guilty of maximizing my stay in Thailand, but I really didn't think that would raise a flag. I read of people that have been doing visa runs for years. I just don't want to put any future visits in jeopardy. I really liked my last trip and was hoping to repeat.

Wow, thank you for all your help .... again. I'm going to look at these visas that you have suggested. I'd like to do it the right way, but I've only recently wanted to stay longer.

Yes, the Immigration officer was a mean fellow, but I am just concerned about how he can hurt my chances of staying in Thailand in the future. I usually just ignore bad people, but this guy has the power to really hurt me and I'd just like to avoid that if possible.

Again, thank you for the information,

@Nongnuch *******

. I really appreciate it. Thai people are the true reason I'd like to stay in Thailand more often. What great people, yes, and the food and beaches.
