Can you enter Thailand multiple times a year under the new visa rules without extensions?

The new guidelines for Thailand's visa rules indicate that frequent short-term visitors can still enter the country multiple times a year on a visa-free basis, such as for weekend trips, as long as they do not exceed 180 days annually. Immigration officers have discretion over each entry, but many users report that short visits have not been an issue. Overall, the updates primarily target those seeking extensions to prevent long-term residency without proper visas.
