ORIGINAL POSTER

Hello hello, just a question please, I have a French passport and I was in Thailand last August and September for holidays without visa (just a tourist stamp + extended). Now I want to come back the same way without visa in December and January then I want to go surfing in Sri Lanka for one or two weeks and come back in Thailand by air to get in with à stamp and stay few more weeks before to go back to Europe. Do you think it will be ok to get back in Thailand after Sri Lanka ? Thank you for answers

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user, holding a French passport, is inquiring about the possibility of re-entering Thailand without a visa after visiting Sri Lanka. Previous comments suggest that while there is no limit to how many visa-exempt entries can be made, frequent entries may raise flags at immigration. It's recommended to have sufficient cash, proof of onward travel, and accommodation details ready when re-entering.

You seem like a normal tourist. :)

While no one can say if you'll have a problem or not with that previous entry history and your planned travel I can see that it would raise any flags when you stamp in.

Have your proof of 20K baht or the equivalent in CASH, proof of onward travel and proof of lodging and you should be fine.

yes, there is no limit on how many visa exempt entries you can use, other then twice if you enter by land borders a calendar year. But remember that all these entries and exits along with your passport details end up in a database from Immigration. If in the crazy thought you might to keep on visiting Thailand for much longer, it could work against you.
