TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is seeking clarification on whether they can perform another visa run after their current visa extensions following their recent border run to Cambodia. A commenter notes that after two entries per calendar year using visa exemption at a land border, the user may have one entry left for 2023. They advise that living in Thailand without a long-term visa can lead to issues with border control, as they may question the user's frequent entries.

First, you did a border run/border bounce, not a visa run. A visa run is where you travel to a Thai embassy and purchase a visa.

You're only allowed to enter Thailand using visa exempt at a land border 2 times per calendar year, so you have 1 more time left in 2023.

That being said even on your next one you may be questioned about why you're spending so much time in Thailand without a visa. Trying to live in Thailand without a long term visa is not an option and eventually you'll be denied entry at the border for not being a tourist and abusing tourist entries.

if you want a business visa, talk to an agent. They can do it for like 50,000 for a year. If you try to do it yourself you'll need to hire 4 Thai employees to get 1 foreigner visa.
