Does using a tourist visa for a border run count towards the 2 border run exemptions in Thailand?

@Nigel ********

Nigel I can't answer that

@Kim ********

Let me answer it for you 😊 what Brendon wrote was "The limit of 2 is only for entries without a visa." Now Brendan knows his onions and is correct in most instances, but this time he's slipped up. Visa Exempt is not the only method of entering Thailand without a visa, there is also visa waiver open to countries who have a bi-lateral agreement with Thailand. These countries are not subject to the 2 land border entries rule. That is only for visa exempt. Why does it matter? Well Branden is normally correct in his advice and writes with some authority. People have confidence in his answer. Rightly so. However, being human, he can also make a mistake. Not a huge mistake, but, imagine if some friendly Russian wants to remain in thailand and wants to do yet another border run. They're (mostly) on visa waiver (although they can get visa exempt, just to confuse things), s/he would find Brendan's advice misleading. Hope that clears things up.
