Please forgive the ignorance, once the 60 day plus 30 day extension is done, how long before you can return to Thailand for another 60 plus 30 day extension? Is there a certain time you need to be out the country for?
TLDR : Answer Summary
Once you have completed the 60 day visa exemption plus a 30 day extension in Thailand, there is technically no official mandatory period you must stay out of the country before re-entering for another 60+30 day extension. However, given recent enforcement by Thai immigration, especially against frequent repeat entries on visa exemptions, it is advisable to avoid excessive back-to-back entries. Immigration officers may scrutinize your reasons for entering and could deny you entry if they suspect you are not just a tourist. Although the legality allows multiple entries, accumulating significant time in Thailand without a long-term visa could result in a denial at the border. It's also noted that while some individuals manage border runs without issue, excessive attempts may raise flags with immigration authorities.
