ORIGINAL POSTER

I have read the group posts everyday and know well that Thailand allows 2 border bounces each calendar year. Can ASEAN citizens go in and out of Thailand as many times a year as they need? Thanks.

TLDR : Answer Summary

The conversation clarifies that while Thailand allows two border bounces each calendar year for general visa-exempt entries, ASEAN citizens often have special arrangements that may enable more frequent crossings, particularly those from neighboring countries like Malaysia and Laos.

For countries bordering Thailand you’ll find special arrangements for citizens to cross. Outside of the scope of this group but basically they can come and go freely using those borders. Many citizens of say Malaysia or Laos work across the border and return every day. Special rules for those.

You can enter 2 times using visa exempt at a land border per calendar year. Most of the nearby countries do not qualify for visa Exempt so the question is irrelevant.

The citizens of some countries may qualify for APEC card and can enter that way, but that's not visa exempt.

Cambodians do not qualify for visa exempt. They enter on bilateral agreement. There is no limit for that.
