Does anyone know if u can cross via a land border with a Tourist visa if u have already crossed twice in the past 12 months using 2 visa exemptions? I am thinking of going from Penang to Hat Yai and I know u can only cross via land twice in 12 months on visa exemptions but is this also the case with tourist visas?
TLDR : Answer Summary
Yes, you can cross into Thailand via land with a tourist visa even if you have already used two visa exemptions in the past 12 months. It is important to note that entering Thailand on any valid visa, including a tourist visa, does not count against the two visa-exempt entries. However, be prepared to show proof of sufficient funds, as border check points near Hat Yai may require 20,000 THB or its equivalent in cash.
