ORIGINAL POSTER
Not a question but some advice. I read some posts here from people who had been in TH on numerous extensions and ultimately ended up doing a border or visa run and had trouble getting back into TH. I just had same, I was in TH from November ‘21 - April ‘22 on visa exempt, extension and 2 covid extensions, went back to Europe for 6 weeks and arrived in BKK today with a 60 day e-visa. I was thoroughly grilled by the IO, her supervisor and her supervisor’s supervisor. They wanted to know all the why’s, what’s and when’s and to see a flight ticket out (which I have). I had to basically pinky promise them I would leave by the end of the 60 days.

Moral of the story, have a good story ready about why you came back so soon and have an onward fight ticket to show them

TLDR : Answer Summary
A user shares their experience of re-entering Thailand after multiple visa extensions and offers advice for future travelers. They emphasize the importance of having a credible explanation for returning to Thailand quickly and providing proof of onward travel, as immigration officers may scrutinize such cases more closely.
