Will I be denied entry to Thailand after an extended stay and immigration concerns?

Rich ****

Ok I did the same thing as you but stayed longer. I was told NOT to enter via Bangkok. So I flew into Chiang Mai and had no problem. Avoid entering through Bangkok and you'll be ok. You are not a marked man or any of that. You just had an annoyed immigration officer.
