ORIGINAL POSTER

Hello, I'm wondering if anyone has experience entering Thailand on a Visa Exemption stamp, staying for 5 days, then exiting, then entering Thailand again within 30 days of the first Visa Expemption stamp issue date. 

Is there any issue with re-entering on a new Visa Exemption stamp before the first one would have technically expired?

Thanks in advance!

TLDR : Answer Summary

The community consensus is that re-entering Thailand on a new Visa Exemption stamp after a short exit (in this case, 5 days) poses no issues, as long as it's within 30 days from the date of the first Visa Exemption stamp. However, travelers should be aware of the limit for entries via land border, which is restricted to two per calendar year.

your 30 day visa exempt is canceled when you leave the country. There will be no issues getting a second in the timeframe from the previous.

Friends of mine from the uk came in on the Saturday 30 days. We then flew to Vietnam for two weeks and then they came back in with a new 30 days. So don’t think there would be an issue. But I might get axed by someone for giving this info.
