ORIGINAL POSTER
I have a METV and I have had it a few times before, so I am quite experienced. But recently someone said that one can enter Thailand by land only twice per year, so I became a bit confused. Does this rule apply for METV too? I have already done two visa runs to the border and I wanna do one more.

TLDR : Answer Summary
The confusion about entering Thailand by land is clarified by noting that the restriction of entering only twice per year applies specifically to the Visa Exempt Entry, not to the METV (Multiple Entry Tourist Visa). Users with a METV can enter as many times as they like, typically without issue.

 The Visa Exempt is only for 30 days and you can go only twice a calendar year by land borders. This post is about crossing land borders using the Multiple Entry Tourist Visa.

No, the rule of entering by land borders is only if you use the Visa Exempt Entry (Entry without Visa).
