I had always assumed that it was a hard and fast rule that you would be denied entry to any country with fewer than 6 months validity on your passport. Is this the case in Thailand? From searching online I have received conflicting information, everything from "they won't even let you on the plane" to "I've done this several times with no issues".

Are they really likely to deny entry to a 2 year old Canadian girl whose passport is valid for the duration of her stay and who has return flights booked? Any help would be most welcome!
