Can I fly into Thailand again after a short stay and extension?
I was recently in Thailand for just under 3 months as I got an extension from the Thai embassy. I flew from England and a month ago I went to Vietnam for a week and flew back to Thailand. I’m now back in England. Can I fly into Thailand again in two weeks time?

Should be okay. Just be careful when you get to the point where it looks like you're trying to live in Thailand rather than be a tourist. That's when you'll start to run into issues entering Thailand. But no one can answer when that is, as it's up to each individual immigration officer to determine.

thank you so much for getting back to me. So I should be ok with just my full uk passport and 20,000 baht. No need to seek another visa?Brandon ************
@Joe ******
if you've been in Thailand for 3 months this year, the odds are low of you having any issues. Those usually seem to start around 5 or 6 monthsJoe *******
OP@Brandon ***********
I thought so but it’s good to have the information confirmed. Thank you so muchActivity
