TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is asking about the possibility of doing another border run to Laos after receiving a 2-month visa exempt stamp, and whether it would pose any issues with immigration. The responses indicate that while there is no official limit on border runs, frequent usage may lead to scrutiny from immigration officials, who might view it as abuse of the tourist entry privilege.

There is no limit to how many times you can do it that is written into a law. But you also cannot do it forever as eventually the immigration officers will tell you that you are abusing free tourist entries.
