The reality is that most people cant afford it, thats why its “elite”… but can still contribute a lot of money to the local economies just by daily expenses…
thanks so much for the info, more than helpful... at one point they were telling him he had to stay at the airport for 3 days if he wanted to return to cambodia (also my suggestion) or he could leave right away if he left for argentina, made no sense...
yes he was attempting to enter thru a visa exempt, he did a 1 day turnaround (i told him stay a couple more days, he didnt), for cambodia he entered on a evisa, he did not apply for a thai visa as argentines are exempt, he showed his thai bank account with more than enough money, they did not ask for proof of departure, he had the approved thai pass and showed them with all the requirements that the thai pass asks for.
he said in his flight about half of the people were on visa runs and about half of them were in the same situation as him...
thanks but i never asked why he was denied as i probably assumed the same thing you did, i asked for suggestions as to what do do or options and some were provided, i wasnt asking to pass judgement. thanks anyway.
