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?
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.

Be aware that the border check point near Had Yai is asking the 20.000 Thb or equivalent currency cash before they stamp your passport.

entering the country by land on ANY valid visa does not count against the two visa exempt entries you can make.

You're fine entering by land on a tourist visa
