@Stuart ********

I have recently read in the comments, not always a good source of info, that the 60 exempt plus a 30 extension followed by another 60 day exempt on a border run might not be possible depending on the IO.

Also is it best to stay out a couple of days rather than a bounce.

Why does Thai Immigration require all previous visa stamps to be transferred to a new passport?

David ***********

What? I have had at least 4 passports and I have never been asked to transfer a visa over that I can recall. Just carried the old passport or once had the old passport attached.

Why do budget airlines like Vietjet charge high fees for overweight luggage?

David ***********

Viajet is like a Bangkok taxi who refuses to use the meter? Really.

You sound like the entitled tourist who wants the taxi for nothing.

As people have said, you knew the rules and choose to ignore them. You then blame the airline. My best advice, stay at home.
