the last one I did it with was Cebu Pacific. I have also done it with HK Express and others. It's not hard. Just read the terms and conditions and details to work out how much you get back. You can do this! It's easy
yes, real ticket is always better than BS ticket. I use a fully refundable ticket with Cebu Pacific. I'm sure that, one day, someone will get caught out on these "fake tickets "
when you were refused, was it at an airport or a border? Did you have an onward ticket, proof of accommodation for a few days and proof of at least 20,000 baht? I'm amazed that you did it four times
