Can a Canadian receive another 30-day exemption by land border hopping after 60 days in Thailand?
I am pretty sure this has been asked before, but can't find a post with the answer; is it a sure thing that a Canadian doing a border hop by land, after being here on a thirty day exemption, then a thirty day extension, can get another thirty day exemption? I am planning to do this at Mae Sai crossing. Thanks in advance and HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Answer summary
A Canadian citizen who has utilized a 30-day exemption followed by a 30-day extension can re-enter Thailand and is eligible for another 30-day exemption via a land border crossing. However, it is important to note that only two land border visa exemptions are permitted per calendar year. The conversation also mentions the possibility of a tourist visa for longer stays in Thailand.

He means 2 x exempt , 30 days each, and extending both by 30 days, giving a maximum of 120 days using visa exempt entries.

You get 30 days when you reenter Thailand (just went on a Burmese whiskey run yesterday with a few friends). Also pick up some Burmese whisky in tachileik too.
Bring $10 or 500 baht for tachileik permit.
