I can't believe they do it like that, unless it's all part of a game.
1 Wouldn't it make sense to use a computer to analyse how long someone is spending in Thailand ?
2 The airport has machines for checking passports when people leave Thailand, so they no longer get exit stamps. Therefore, passports will contain no physical information about how long people are actually spending in Thailand.
