Question about the 90 day visa run advice I keep seeing

Every guide says to just hop a border for a new visa stamp, but I got denied entry in Bangkok last month trying that. The officer said my passport showed too many back-to-back tourist entries and I needed a proper visa. I had to book a last minute flight home, costing over $800. Has anyone else hit this wall with short-term stays?

That $800 hit hurts, and Jennyp19's Manila story shows it's not just Bangkok.

Yeah, that's the gamble with visa runs now. My friend got the same talk in Manila after his third bounce. They really are cracking down on the endless tourist loop.
