I am a Canadian citizen who entered Thailand July 15 last year on a tourist visa. I should have no problem entering Thailand July 1rst or 2nd this year on another tourist visa correct ? I believe I should be fine but I have seen some people talk about a year and a calendar year being different in some cases

TLDR : Answer Summary
A Canadian citizen who entered Thailand on a tourist visa and stayed for about 18 days should be able to re-enter Thailand on another tourist visa shortly after, without issues. Thai immigration rules allow for two visa-exempt entries by land within a calendar year and unlimited entries by air. The final decision for entry rests with the immigration officer. Based on past entry history, the individual in question is likely to face no problems when re-entering Thailand.

So to understand, you entered Thailand last year, on July 15, and left last year, on August 3rd (about 18 days, I think). I'm assuming you came here on a vacation. You now want to return to Thailand and be here on July 2 and leave on August 1 (or thereabouts).

If that's the situation, you'll be fine. You are allowed 2 ground based 30 day visa exempt a calendar year, and "unlimited" by air. It is the immigration officer decision to decide if you should enter or not.

Given your history, I say your completely fine and have nothing to worry about. Enjoy your vacation!
