ORIGINAL POSTER

Hello,

I had multi visa at the start of this year and used for 7 months travelling Thailand, Maylaisa, Cambodia, Philipines, i come home back to the UK to work for about 2-3 months, do you know if i can get another multi visa to travel again this coming year?

Or is there a limit on how many times i can travel in thailand in a calender year even if i have the correct tourism visa and enter and leave via aeroplane? 

Any help would be much appreciated.

i know someone from the US that is on their third 6 month METV now. They got them all from the same consulate in the US too.

I was in my home country one month after finishing my first and got the second. I'm sure there must be some limits somewhere. Probably different in various embassies.

I believe you can get another METV and do it again. You description of your travels will show as stamps and stickers in regional countries - you didn't spend a full 7 months in Thailand. The METV in my opinion was designed for just that.
