Nobody knows how they will apply the rules. They only allow 2 visa-exempt entries per calendar year unless you can convince them you are a genuine tourist. Technically you have only entered once this year and you returned to your home country so I think you will be fine. They are cracking down on the border bounce brigade - the people using visa-exempt entries to stay in Thailand long term.

Luckily not. Arrived in October last year did a border run in December then another one in Feb, which was a bloody faff as I accidentally overstayed by one day but got back in to Thailand with 60 days.Then left before 60 days expired.
