Hello everyone. I already crossed the land border from Vientiane into Thailand twice this year. Once without a visa and once with a tourist visa. Does it mean I made my 2 crossings this year or does the time I had a visa don’t count? I’m asking cause I heard different stories. 

TIA.

If you used a visa, it doesn’t count. You have one left.
