So with the new law going into effect, how does this affect the 6 month visa? Do I get 60 days then leave for a day and get another 60 days and so on? So theoretically I can get 6 months with a 6 month visa?

TLDR : Answer Summary
The new law seems to be putting the multi-entry Tourist Visa under scrutiny. With this visa, travelers typically receive 60 days per entry and a possible 30-day extension. Some users suggest that you can strategically cross the border and return to effectively stay in Thailand for up to six months through multiple entries and extensions. However, the perceived value of the multi-entry Tourist Visa may be diminishing as easier options to stay without a visa come to light.

You get 60 days with each entry and you can extend 30 days so the MTV is worthless,ceasy to stay without a visa

The 6 month multi-entry Tourist Visa could always get you close to 9 months with 2 border bounces and 3 extensions.

the new law won't effect the metv at all. We also don't know if the 60 day visa exempt will be eligible for an extension. The METV will always be the safe bet.
