I get your point and from someone that lived in BKK they'll tell you where you can shove your visa rules (point first) AND THERE AIN'T MUCH THAT YOU CAN DO IF THEY WANT TO PUSH THE ISSUE.

I've had baggage allowance rules in hand many times and it's up to the individual supervisor as to how much you are going to be allowed to check in, without going to the payment dept, on your domestic flight after coming in on an international flight. The only thing that has ever save 3 LilAb's with 9X70 lbs checked all the way from LAS-SFO-NRT-BKK-KKC is a discussion with the super from my wife in the sane LAO dialect as the village up country.
