ORIGINAL POSTER
Hello all! I have a question. My partner and I did one visa tourist renovation through Samui airport. We were in thailand from may until August. 6 days trip and we turned back a few days ago.

My question is if we go on november 1month or so to do another trip. Can we come back to thailand by flight to stay 3 months again?

We did renewed visa tourist once this year. November will be the second one.

Thank you!

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user inquired about the possibility of returning to Thailand on a tourist visa after having already renewed their visa once in the current year. While some comments suggested that re-entering on a tourist visa should be fine, others cautioned that it ultimately depends on the discretion of the immigration officer. Additionally, there were points raised about the maximum stay limits in Thailand and the distinction between holding a tourist visa and being visa-exempt.

First, do you actually mean you have tourist visas or you are entering visa exempt? Tourist visas are applied for online via the embassy. Visa exempt is when immigration lets you in without a visa. Each time you came in, did you go to immigration and extend from 60 days to 90 days? It will come down to if the immigration officer feels you are trying to live here and not really tourist. Hard to know what they will do, having an actual visa from the embassy usually makes it much safer

I think you can not stay more 180 days in 1 year

If you arrive on a tourist visa it should be ok. But it's always up to the immigration officer.
