If you have extensive travel history in Thailand last 24 months, several long visa free stays, several extensions, etc. you could face issues entering visa exempt again.

It all depends on your travel history as per other comments, the mood of the officer, if you plan to re-enter through land border or via airport, and so on.

If you plan to fly back absolute safest bet would be to pay for safe entry via agent for ~3k baht and they will guarantee you another visa exempt entry.

@Marc *******

found an agent getting most of the PH in. 3500 baht.

@Stuart ********

good to know, just based off a comment I saw, I only have personal experience in bkk

Started in Bangkok already on day one of announcement this week. Heard same stories from Phuket, Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai. Yet to hear from provinces in Isaan and more remote areas.

For anyone curious I gave it a shot without an agent after spending 5 days in Laos.

I managed to cross for another visa exempt stamp after being pulled aside and interviewed by the immigration supervisor for about 10 minutes.

Had a one way ticket out to KL booked as well as a weeks worth of hotels in Chiang Mai + 20k thb in cash.

This is my first ever border run so it seems well apparent that they are getting more stingy on people using Nong Khai as a border crossing.

seems to have changed a lot recently, even my gf was interviewed when we stamped out where they asked her if I was just doing a border run to live in Thailand or if we’re going for an actual holiday

@Arnold ******

heard too many bad stories about land borders lately. I’ve just done a full 60+30 day exemption stay so not keen to find out if I will be denied or not once I have already left Laos.

Not sure what you are on about? Had plenty of stops and never any problems with officers if you genuinely have the correct IDP stamp that proves you are certified for motorcycles and in certain cases heavy bikes.
