lol. The rules are built to be worked around. The agencies thrive in plain view.

Getting questioned is irrelevant.

That’s officers doing their job. Something about you or your history was off for him. So you got interviewed. Just like any other country. And then, let me guess here, they let you walk in…

no, they definitely did not. Read carefully and actually understand

I think it’s fine to mention on this page. Broader perspectives here with discussion including agencies which is important for many people for various reasons. Lots in Phuket, CM and Pattaya that seem really reliable also

yes, it's not exactly rocket science. And IO's doing their job and due diligence is to be expected in every country. But obviously something about you or your history raised the eyebrow. It's most assuredly not 60+30, 60 that caused the issue. And your FB handle would indicate that it's not your first visit to Thailand.... I have good friends doing border bounces and visa runs since 2019. There are some nuances to learn about which airports, which border points, which consulates and how often, which agencies, when to use FastTrack services etc that one should figure out.

if you read the responses here you will not get any meaningful data. Many people here are the ones who have problems already and seeking solution. Millions of others have no issues, so simply carry on as they always have. There are ZERO eyebrows being raised at border bounces 60+30, 60+30. But obviously some people bring attention to themselves by their look, actions or history.

Still many people here for years on border bounces, although the DTV takes some of them of them off that pathway

You can exit and come back immediately. Don't need to stay out for a few days. You can keep doing that until someone denies entry. But if you plan to stay longer than a 6-12 months, there are good visa options available. If just being a tourist though, you will be ok
