There is an upper limit on DIY border runs and airport entries before Thailand thinks you owe them more money than just 10,000 THB for the DTV.
At that point you can apply for a DTV through an agent (3-5x the price) or only re-enter through an agent, like airport fast track entry. Just no more cheap DTV (10k) or free entries. He's past the limit.
Thailand would rather get 4000 THB per entry or 40,000 THB for a DTV than let you off the hook for 10,000 THB only. And yes, agents are part of the system. That's why they never get cracked down on. It's just how it's monetized. 👍
Anonymous: yes, that's the final 'trial expired' warning. If you had always used an agent (border run/airport) your account would never get into that state. Now you're cooked and dependent on agents.
Either pay, or stay out of Thailand. In reality they'll always want your money. No more freebies.
And no, getting a new passport won't fix it. It's not 1997 anymore. The system is pretty watertight (until you pay). That's by design. 🙂
Bro just needs to pay up (agent), but most don't understand the system. Watch this discussion long enough as it defaults into the NPC script: "dress nicely, bring Three Proofs: 20,000 cash, printed hotel booking, outward flight...". Get your popcorn. 🤣🍿
