Can I stay in Thailand for 3-6 months on a Tourist Visa and then return for another 3-6 months?
Some advise please on the new visa requirements.
I plan on staying in Thailand for 3 to 6 months then returning to the UK for 1 month then flying out to again for another 3 to 6 months, could this be done on a Tourist Visa or would i need a 1 year single / multiple entry Visa
Any advice would be welcome

I believe they will not see you as a tourist. You will need a visa. Check the website of the Thai Consulate in your home country
