Answer summary
The consensus among community members is that visiting Thailand multiple times a year for short holidays of about 3 weeks each is generally acceptable, especially if you can demonstrate that you are a genuine tourist with a return flight. However, the immigration officer's discretion plays a significant role, and entering without a visa might be risky. It's advisable to apply for a tourist visa beforehand if planning frequent entries.

If you enter with a visa that you applied for on line and a onward travel ticket out of Thailand within the period of your visa , No problem, if you enter Thailand without a visa and expect to get a visa exempt on entry , you will be pushing your luck each time , so it's best to get a tourist visa 👍😎✌

As long as you’re a genuine tourist with a return ticket you’ll be fine.

That's the way I did it for years, never had been questioned. As long as you have a return flight. Now I extended my trips to 5 or 7 weeks.

It will depend on the purpose of your visit and the immigration officer you will stand in front of on entry plus the visa if any you enter on
