I say that because if you get a different Immigration Officer on the way back he may not have the same opinion as the one who told you to get a tourist visa.

If you were denied at the end of January there is a good chance of denial again based on why they denied you the first time. But of course this is Thailand and who can say for sure.

unfortunately the rules are only as good as the Immigration Officer decides.

You are getting close to being denied entry but even with a tourist visa it is up to the Immigration Officer that you deal with.

Are you dense or have you not been keeping up with what is going on

I agree with most if the comments. But important questions need to be answered like his age, also are you in Thailand or will he live by himself? How is his health? Does he have medical conditions that need care because Thai Insurance companies generally do not accept people with pre-existing conditions and if he is on Medicare it is pretty much useless unless he has like maybe a Medicare Advantage Plan that will pay for someone who lives overseas. These questions should be taken in to consideration before anything else.

Most likely it will only apply to Cambodian people because of potential terrorist activities.

Dental work is cheap in Thailand.

Yeah it's like .05%.
