People did heed the warning in May and left to secure proper tourist visas. But now that may not be enough. The ThaiVisa website reported that some foreigners with proper visas were refused entry at points along the Thai-Malaysian border. Their reporter said 20 foreigners holding 60-day tourist visas were turned away at the Sungai Kolok crossing in Narathiwat Province, and that “all of the foreigners who were denied entry had a previous history of multiple visa exempt entries or back to back tourist visas.” They were told to take a bus to Kuala Lumpur and fly back into Thailand. Those affected were from several different countries, including the U.S., U.K., Ukraine, New Zealand, Romania, Russia, and Italy.
