Can anyone please tell me how many times a year for 3 or 4 weeks at a time I can fly into Thailand on visa exemption please?
I am hearing stories of people being turned back trying to enter more than twice.
Answer summary
There is currently no strict limit on the number of times you can enter Thailand on a visa exemption. However, concerns arise regarding the total length of stay. Some travelers have reported that if they stay for extended periods or visit too frequently, immigration officers may question their intentions and potentially deny entry. Recent discussions suggest a new rule under consideration might limit visa-exempt entries to two per calendar year, but this has not been officially confirmed. It is advised to keep travel itineraries genuine and to familiarize oneself with visa options through the Thai Embassy.

There is no written limit, entry into The Kingdom is completely at the discretion of immigration. Even a visa does not guarantee admission. If an immigration officer believes you are not entering for legitimate tourism under visa exemption they can deny entry.
No one can advise you. The decision is up to the Immigration Officer based on your travel history , itinerary and your answers to questions asked, and whether you are seen as a tourist,or not.
If you are looking to visit multiple times, you maybe best to review the visa options in the Thai Embassy website.
