Can Thailand immigration link my dual nationality passports, and would switching passports avoid scrutiny of my entries?

If I use a second passport (dual nationality, not a blank passport) that has no history of any entries to Thailand – will immigration be able to link this to my main passport?

My main passport has a lot of SETVs and VEs – if I was to switch the passport I enter with every 8-12 months, would that effectively look like I’ve been outside of Thailand for that period?

Or will the all seeing eyes of immigration know what I’m up to?

Answer summary

The user inquires whether using a second passport, which has no history of entries to Thailand, could prevent immigration authorities from linking it to their main passport filled with visa entries. They wonder if alternating their passports every 8-12 months would create the appearance of having been outside Thailand, and question whether immigration would be able to detect this strategy.
