Can I do two land border crossings in Thailand within the same calendar year using a visa exemption?

A USA passport holder can perform two land border crossings to obtain visa exemptions in one calendar year, but must manage timing carefully. They can cross on November 28 and again on December 26, extending their stay with local immigration services if needed. However, border policies may vary, and it's recommended to check the current regulations at the Malaysian border, as there could be fees or limitations for back-to-back entries. In addition to border runs, the option to obtain a 60-day tourist visa with a potential extension in Penang was also discussed, as it may provide a longer stay without the need for frequent crossings.
