What did she expect red carpet and the royal family to greet her,may have had visa before arrival but that means diddly squat to bkk immigration.Wonder which poor sap had to check the 14hour plus travel underwhere this time?bet they wore 1 of those masks.

I would have thought she would have received the notorious "red stamp" in her passport last time???

So when is a ''pardon'',a pardon? :lol: :lol: Her motives might have been well intentioned,but I see no blame in denying her entry!She should have checked with Immigration before departing!

She might have ''source'' information that the Thai authorities don't want passed on to local acquaintances or ,at the very least,they probably don't want continued frat between convicted felons! [-X

Likely never crossed her mind that she's not welcome.

Those sorts view drug felonies like parking tickets. :lol:

Hope they did a body cavity search on her with a garden rake.

Here Here, the only unfortunate result would be that some poor bugger has to pick up the tab to return her, I do hope it is herself as due to her previous she should have checked with all authorities.

From memory Ter, I read somewhere that she had a visa.

Which mean the airline was off the hook for the return trip - I guess down to her, or the Thailand government.
