Hi , since I’m a American am I allowed two 30 day border crosses each calendar year no matter what ?

Answer summary

Yes, as an American, you are permitted up to two 30-day border crossings each calendar year under visa exemption, according to Thai immigration policies. However, the final decision lies with the Thai Immigration Officer at the border.

If the Thai Immigration Officer you meet at the border says so...as entry into Thailand is solely the decision of Thai Immigration.

And yes you are allowed up to two border land entries each calendar year visa exempt for 30 days as an American..

Good Luck.
