TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is traveling to Thailand in October, returning from Vietnam on day 59 of their initial 60-day stay. They inquire about the duration of their stay upon returning, specifically whether they will receive another 60-day visa or just 30 days. The community responses confirm that they should receive a 60-day visa exempt stamp upon re-entry, with a possibility of extending for an additional 30 days at the immigration office.

Hopefully they don't change it back to 30 days. There was talk of it, but its all went quiet.

Stop listening to that kind of rumors, it wasn’t even near to be presented to parlament, just some newsmedie, needing to boost their clicks.

Can I enter Thailand on a 60-day tourist visa, go to Vietnam, and return on a 30-day visa exemption?
