Gary Glitter has been declared "persona non grata" by the Thai authorities and threatened with deportation back to Vietnam, where he has just served three years for child sex offences.
The disgraced rock singer is in limbo at Bangkok airport after complaining of chest pains during a stopover on his return to Britain.
Glitter, 64, had flown in from Vietnam following his release from prison but failed to board an onward flight to London.
A doctor examined him in the transit lounge and said Glitter was suffering from a minor inflammation in his chest. He prescribed painkillers and declared him fit to travel.
Thailand's immigration chief said Glitter, who checked into an airside hotel called the Louis Tavern, would not be allowed to enter Thailand.
"We will have to repatriate him back to Vietnam, because he is on our watch list as persona non grata. Thai immigration cannot let him enter," Lt Gen Chatchawal Suksomjit said.
