TLDR : Answer Summary

In Thailand, land-based border runs are limited to two entries per calendar year. This applies to the 30-day visa exemption for most nationalities. The previous option of a 15-day visa exemption by land has been eliminated, reverting to the 30-day policy.

there are no more 15 day visa exempt entries by a land border, they went back to 30 days when they put the limit of TWO in a calendar year.
