If I was in Thailand in October for 4 weeks is it to soon to go back again for 60/90 days in January. Or should I apply for a DTV soft course or a ME Visa if I want to stay longer.

Answer summary

The user is inquiring about the possibility of returning to Thailand in January for a 60/90 day stay after being there for 4 weeks in October. Comments clarify that a reset in the 2 entries per year requirement occurs on January 1, allowing for re-entry without issue. However, depending on long-term travel plans, exploring visa options like a DTV soft course or ME Visa may be beneficial.

Anonymous participant 190 in theory, but dont bank on getting a second entry if you have a history or get on officer on a bad day. Go with a visa run company or 'fast track'.

They just posted the rules on this. On January 1, the 2 entry per year requirement reset. You’ll be fine to come back then.

No purpose of stay, no length of stay, just I visited Thailand.

You need a visa for your University bachelor degree study, if that is what you mean with course.
