What challenges do expats face when re-entering Thailand on a long-term visa?

Thomas ********

Why? We had separate events to attend to. The officer didn’t even ask about me. Also, being suspicious is compatible with being respectful. They are not mutually exclusive.

Yeah, it’s the unwarranted eye-roll and bad attitude that are ridiculous. We aren’t people who cause a fuss. We speak / read / write in Thai, and understand Thai culture and customs. We respect the officer’s authority. We just don’t understand the ridiculous and unnecessary unwelcome disposition.

Anonymous participant 185 that was the most off-putting thing. We aren’t doing anything but using our visa the way it’s designed. Why do we feel unwelcome when we’re following the rules?

I’m not complaining, I’m knowing my own limits. You don’t know me or my life. You shouldn’t be telling me not to extend my visa because your life looks different than mine. Clearly I solved my own problem cheaply and easily, and still staying in 35 different places last year. Why should I follow your advice?

once again — you have no idea. We travelled with our kids in the US, UK, Italy, Vietnam, Malaysia, Jakarta, and Bali last year (not including Thailand). You seem to have zero ability to appreciate how tiring that would be and why I’d choose to extend instead of exiting the country again.

Unsolicited advice / concern. It's irrelevant to this post, and comes off as unhelpful, judgy, and pot-stirring.
