TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is inquiring if a visa is needed for multiple short trips (59 days each) to Thailand throughout the year while maintaining a long-term rental property, with specifics on return flights and cash requirements. Community responses suggest that while initially, the 60-day tourist exemption might suffice, repeated trips could lead to visa requirements.

If you are only coming under 60 days with no extensions you should be good on the tourist visa

If you are repeating the pattern over and over you'll get away with it a few times but then you are likely to need a visa beyond that
