TLDR : Answer Summary
A UK passport holder who left Thailand for 7 weeks and wants to return for another 60 days may be able to do so under the visa exemption rule. While most comments indicate it should be fine with the proper documentation, it’s advised to consider potential scrutiny from immigration officers, especially after multiple visits or border runs. Having proof of accommodation, a return ticket, and sufficient funds may help ease entry. Some suggest checking with the Thai consulate for options like multiple-entry tourist visas (METV) for future trips, and using agents to facilitate smoother entry, although experiences may vary.

I entered on 3 consecutive 60 day visa exemptions but was given a hard time on the third entry.

No problem. I'm currently here on my 4th trip this year. As long as you have return ticket you will be ok.

Thank you very much everyone I was going to maybe visit the Thai consulate here in Vietnam and see what they recommend is my best and safest option, as it’s only for travel purposes but I feel a lot more safer there so would like to see some more before I head back home x thanks for all advice x

staff at the embassy have no clue about how immigration staff works at the airport. I’ve done 20+ trips on visa exemption, so it’s 100% guaranteed you won’t get any trouble if you have a ticket to leave, and a booking

Enter by visa exemption. Tourist visa won’t do you any good. You will just spend money on paper with no guarantee to entry.

Travelled with a group recently from Cambodia to Thailand. The only ones who were stopped for questioning were those who after leaving Thailand got a setv in Cambodia before coming back.

If you do want a visa, next time when you travel home, get an metv available for 6 months, and can be used for 2 or more trips

No one can give a definite answer to this as it’s up to an individual immigration officer to decide.

You should be fine, but if questioned have the three proofs - 20,000 baht or equivalent in CASH, proof of accommodation for the first few nights and a valid ticket out of Thailand.

The rules have surly changed

If your in a position to get one

Do it

People have been talking about coming back visa exempt a second time and getting the tutorial about not allowed

The few post I’ve seen were allowed in eventually but I’m sure it’s a hassle

Good luck

Should be fine.
