Yeah I've spent basically all my time in Bangkok with some trips to Koh Samui/Phangan. I've been wanting to visit CM for a while but some people are saying here I'm permanently barred from being a tourist again lol. Wish I knew this was a possibility earlier and I would've visited CM when I had the chance.

Do you have any idea if being denied entry can hurt your chances of being let into other countries in the future?

Nice glad it worked out for you. Actually the time I was almost denied was when I had a tourist visa so I'm not sure that's doing me any favors. I'd be out for 7 months this time before going back however I haven't been to my home country in 6 years. Guess it's just a roll of the dice 💀

I'm curious what the purpose is of these large Thai Visa groups if the answer inevitably comes down to "nobody knows, it's up to the officer". I was really hoping someone here would have the secret recipe to success haha

Does anyone have any idea how long they'd like you to be out of the country before visiting again? I've heard people say just a couple days, or a month, or a year. This would be 7 months out for me but these comments are making me nervous..

I will have been out 7 months between leaving and entering this time. It's so frustrating there's no clearly written rule because I'd gladly follow it. Some people say stay out 1 month and others in these comments say I can never go back lol. If I get denied entry I'm not really worried about my Thai vacation but I'm super worried that denial will affect my ability to get into other countries in the future.

I'm a 29 year old American. Purpose is just tourism. I'm headed to Chiang Mai this time which I've never been to before.

So you mean they questioned you, then let you in, and you've gone back again since that time without issue? Mind if I ask how long you were out of Thailand between those visits?

Sorry maybe I was unclear in my post. I have no intention of living in Thailand I'm just trying to go for May-June this year.
