It's just officials making up their own rules fearing you are working in Thailand. Anyone spending a decent amount of time in Thailand is getting interrogated these days. I arrived on a 60 day TR and still got probed. When the officer asked me if I had my ticket to Cambodia I thought I was gunna cop similar treatment.

To be honest they should make the rules official instead of taking things into their own hands so there will be no questions and people getting dicked around when they aren't doing anything wrong.

If you can afford the 20 year. Do it

@Graham *****

fair enough. Still a @#$@ act if you ask me

@Paul ******

there's 0 risk leaving on the last day under normal circumstances. This guy's only mistake was not standing there to count out the days. I doubt many of us would think of doing that. I just check it's the right month

@David **********

yes this is just dealing with a $hit human on this occasion. Any decent person wouldn't have issued the fine

@Daniele **********

I unfortunately copped 2. I definitely stood in the wrong line on both occasions. Both women mind you so I definitely join the male officer cues these days

@Michael *******

oh ok. I read it wrong. I see now. Apologies

@Michael *******

so youd have fined him too even though the only mistake he made was not bother to count the days to see the error? Nice bloke you must be

@Greg ***********

well seriously if the immigration officer he dealt with yesterday was a decent human they wouldn't have fined him seeing he actually hit the border on the day he was stamped.

You know considering alot of visa stuff is up to the discretion of the officer you deal with, you'd have to be a real @#$@ of a human to not exonerate the fine when you just followed the stamp that was incorrectly done. Especially seeing alot of officials at the airport waiver the fine for a 1 day overstay.
