Can I visit Thailand 3 times in one year without getting a special visa? 4 weeks in February,  3 weeks in June and 3 weeks in November. 

Thanks

Answer summary

Yes, you can visit Thailand multiple times in one year without needing a special visa, as long as you are from a visa-exempt country and your entries are made by air. Many travelers share experiences of visiting Thailand multiple times a year without issues, though it's noted that recent immigration policies may lead to closer scrutiny for repeat travelers.

I go in 8 or more times a year by plane, never overstay only once the past 20 years have they asked to see my return ticket. I've stayed from 4 days to 30 days but not more than 180 days in a year.

Shouldn't be any problem as long as your passport is from a visa exempt eligible country.
