My name is P., age 68 years. I have been living in Thailand for 5 years. After a life with many addictions such as alcohol, drugs and smoking, I stopped everything 20 years ago. My new addiction has become fitness, 7 days a week. I don't use any medication. In the Netherlands I had my blood checked regularly. In the conversation with the doctor afterwards it was invariably, cholesterol a bit too high, but the good ones compensate for this. And no reason for medicine. Now I have the last two blood results from Thailand and I would like to ask you how to read this and what you think about it.

The rejection was based on reason 2 (reason for visit insufficiently demonstrated) and reason 9 (probability of timely departure insufficiently demonstrated).
Last year my Thai girlfriend came to the Netherlands with China Southern Airlines. No problem, the transfer in Guangzhou also went smoothly. This morning she would visit me again this time with Xiamen airlines via Xiamen. However, she called me completely upset, from Bangkok, that she was not allowed to come.
