Eyyy,

Me and my brother are heading to Thailand this summer to do some backpacking. We will be there for 34 days and will be leaving for a short break during the time to visit Cambodia. We will enter and leave Asia through Thailand. Do we need a multiple entry tourist visa or will we be okay with the visa exemption (also if we chose to go to laos, there for entering Thailand 3 times during the trip, will that change things for the visa exemption).

Thanks for your time folks - owe you all one...

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user inquires about the necessity of a multiple entry tourist visa for their 34-day backpacking trip in Thailand, which includes visits to Cambodia and possibly Laos, resulting in entering Thailand multiple times. Responses clarify that with a visa exemption, travelers are limited to two land border crossings per year but can fly into Thailand unlimited times. Many suggest that if planning multiple entries, flying might be a better option.

Sorry
@Dom****
, I deleted your comment. IT is first of all the wrong information and after several attempts you do not want to read any of the advice given.

If you get the 6 month METV you get unlimited land crossing for the duration of the validity of the visa...

Sounds like the visa exemption is gonna be the one for me. Think we’ll just do Cambodia this time! Thanks everyone!!

If you’re entering Thailand 3x you might want to make one of those a flight, you only get 2 land crossings in a calendar year...

You can only do 2 land border crossings per year. Unlimited entries by flight.

That is only when using the Visa Exempt Entry method.
