Was the dude a thin guy with short hair and small glasses?
I never had any problems with phuket immigration, except for my first visa extension with this fucker.
I didn't know exactly where to wait, and one of the officer told me to sit in a corner. 10 minutes later, the same guy, still with a big smile on his face, invites me to sit in front of him. I show him all the necessary papers, he studies them cautiously for 2 minutes, and then tells me while laughing... "Sir, you need go back tomorrow, office close soon hahaha"
I look at the clock showing 3:15 pm, bewildered, and look at him again, he is still cracking up like he just told me the joke of the year.
I try a timid "Poodlen mai?"
"No no no, come back tomorrow sir" with a smile that made me want to punch him in the face.
Not knowing if he wanted to make a farang angry for fun or if he genuinely believed it was a really funny situation, I tried to give him my best fake smile and told him "mai pen rai krap, sawadee krap". What a fucking asshole.
