So the guy tells me "i wont call your school because they will lie. The school gets money from you so they will lie for you"
I had pictures of me in school, texts with the school that my end date letter is for next month...
The guy seemed to really be intent on harassing me.
Now all that said he let me through. I suppose he could have deported me but why waste so much tine harrassing me to just let me pass anyway?!

The only thing you would have needed is a written document from your school, that you´ve attended all the classes during your period of studying. Try that next time, if there will be a next time.

It was at suvarnabhumi airport
The other thing is i need one more extension before im heading to America anyway. I am worried that i will get the same treatment at chaeng wattana. I really hope not.
All i can say is i have tried my best. Language has always been an achilles heel of mine. Despite having a thai girlfriend and going to classes it just doesnt stick with me.
I get that immigration might just say well dont bother with an ED visa if you wont learn. But honestly i wonder how long it took them to learn English?!
I would say my progress is slow but at least i know all the thai alphabet, have a couple hundred word vocabulary, can count... I think it is ok for 7 months honestly.

Did you cross at Poipet?
That he asks him a bit, sure why not. But OP wrote he talked with him for 1.5 hours, this is clearly over the top.
Especially because there is no minimum requirement of Thai language skills.
The rules simply state that you need to attend a minimum amount of classes, this doesn't mean you actually have to learn anything there. If he suspects OP of not attending the required classes he should investigate the school.

I have been in Thailand 7 months on an ED visa. I decided to take a vacation to Cambodia for a few days. Got a reenntry permit and left.
Upon entering the immigration section the guy looked at my passport and asked if i spoke thai.
I said lit noi and he took me to supervisor.
Now despite attending classes i suck at thai. People will probably say you should know more etc but i try my best.
He demanded i write some things in thai and i can a little as i know the alphabet etc. He wouldnt accept spoken thai but only written.
Then he talked to me.. For 1 hr 30 minutes. Why would anyone want to learn thai because you cant make more money... Why foreigners lie and wish to stay long in Thailand etc.
He said if only i told him the truth he'd have let me through now he will deport.
Weird thing is i told him the truth! He asked why i got my ED Visa i said because i love thailand the culture and people and id like to stay and learn the language and the people.
He said weighing what i wanted more language or the country which i prefer. I said country not the language.
He let me through.
So yeah be repared to answer in Thai and write thai even on a reentry permit. He scared the <deleted> out of me.
He also talked to me in this demeaning way which is hard to describe. I definitely felt like a criminal.

All I know is the guy did not treat me with respect at all. I've never committed any crimes and all I've ever done was spend money in Thailand. Treating people this way is just weird logic. I'm sure some people maybe work here illegally or something but I could work at McDonalds in America and make double what some of my friends make here as teachers! They can't really be this concerned about people working here right?
I make money on YouTube and all I've done to Thailand was donate money to their economy lol. I wouldn't try to work here or anything...sigh.
Anyway thanks for listening guys appreciate it. Next time I will come armed with evidence from my school. I have tons of worksheets, and notes from my studies I can bring.
