Hi! Does anyone know if the land border crossing for visa exempt stays 2 per year even if i flew in with airplane many times ? So if i used a lot of visa exempt by plane, can i still do the 2 land border crossings?
Thank you
Answer summary
A user inquired about the ability to utilize land border crossings for visa-exempt stays in Thailand after having frequently arrived by air. The consensus from community comments indicates that while there is no limit on how often one can fly into Thailand using a visa exemption, land border crossings are restricted to two per calendar year. It was emphasized that past air entries do not affect the land border allowance, but frequent air arrivals may draw scrutiny from immigration officials.

Air arrival there is no official limit on how many times you can enter, however you will eventually run into an over zealous I/O who says otherwise….land border crossings it’s limited to 2 per calendar year 01 Jan - 31 Dec…if you get a visa and do a land border crossing it does not count against your 2 per calendar year….good luck
Flying in by plane is not a land border entry. You can enter 2 times per calendar year with visa exempt at a land border. If you have not entered 2 times by land border without a visa then you can still enter by land border.
All entries are at the discretion of the immigration officer.
