Can someone give me some advice on border runs. I did 2 border runs in 2017, my last border run was in November. 

Can I do 2 more border runs now in 2018 or do I need to wait until November when a full year has passed to be able to do a border run again.

At immigration in Chiang Rai after extending my 2 month holiday visa was told that I could do the border run again. Just want to be totally sure because the language barrier is always a problem so not sure they understood my question properly.

Thanks

Answer summary

The user inquired about the possibility of completing two additional border runs in 2018 after having completed two in 2017. Comments clarified that the limit on visa-exempt land entries resets each calendar year, allowing for two border runs within that year. Therefore, the user can indeed proceed with two more border runs.

I can confirm. I did two border bounces last year and one more just yesterday at Mae Sai, no problem.

The 2x limit on visa exempt land entries re-sets on Jan 1. At least until they change the rules again :-)

It is 2 border runs a calendar year, so the answer is yes you can.
