How does the new rule on 60-day entries work for entry periods in Thailand?

The discussion revolves around the new immigration rules in Thailand regarding the 2 x 60-day entries within a 12-month period. There is clarification that the calculation for these entries is based on the calendar year, rather than starting from the last extension. Participants in the comments also emphasize that the recent guidelines focus on preventing lengthy stays under visa-exempt entries, which are primarily meant for short-term tourism.
