TLDR : Answer Summary

The conversation discusses experiences with the Single Entry Tourist Visa (SETV) at Thailand's DMK and BKK airports, specifically regarding the number of SETVs one can obtain before facing scrutiny from immigration officials. Users report varied experiences, with one noting that after 4 or 5 SETVs there was no hassle, while another mentioned being stopped after 8-10.

I have a few now.. 4 or 5, if Thai immigration stamped on an organized fashion I could tell you if it is 4 or 5.

Not yet been stopped and DMK.. However, once returning through Suvarnabhumi I was stopped and read the riot act, same as Richard Doodson. Honestly, I don't think Immigration or Thailand really care how long you stay - if you're not an ass clown.

I think one guy had 8-10 SETV back to back before they stopped him at immigration and sent him to the immigration room to talk to the supervisor...
