How often can I travel to Thailand on a visa exemption?

I'm Indian citizen

I have been there 7 times in the last four years and 4 times in the last 18 months and no other country has visited.
Answer summary
Indian citizens can travel to Thailand under the visa exemption policy; however, the frequency largely depends on the length of their stays during previous visits. The visa exemption for Indians is set to expire soon, with future entries likely requiring a Visa on Arrival. Frequent visits should be made carefully, particularly as regulations are changing.

You are already lucky you did all these trips. Your passport is unfortunately not the strongest if I can put it that way, so don't play with fire and get yourself a DTV visa.

7 times in 4 years is a good tourist routine as long as the trips were not long trips

While visa exemption still exists for Indians passport holders it will depend on how long you have stayed in Thailand on each of your last 4 trips. But be aware that once the changes, which have already been approved by the Thai government, come into effect Indians will no longer be able to enter visa exempt, they will have to purchase a 15 day Visa on Arrival. We don't yet know when this will come into effect
