TLDR : Answer Summary
An Indian citizen can enter Thailand multiple times under the visa exemption scheme, but it's important to be aware of immigration scrutiny, especially if entering frequently. While one user mentioned that entering again after two months should not pose any issues, others expressed concerns regarding scrutiny faced by Indian travelers in Thailand. The user is also considering applying for a DTV visa but is struggling to maintain the required balance of 500,000 baht for six months, highlighting the complexities of visa requirements.

You can get someone to be a guarantor on the 500k balance I believe

I’ve read something about it I’m sure. That’s why I said I believe.

I’ve just recently been doing a bit of research to get a visa myself.

Can you return home to lower expenses? That way you can get the 500k balance?

That may be best for long term

do you know if the Thai Embassy in India requires the balance of each of the six month's bank statements to show 500k, or is it only 500k on the most recent statement? Each Embassy might have a different requirement about that,but I just read answers to questions about this on a post in another group. When asked, the original poster replied that their Embassy accepted that while they needed to provide the latest six months statements, only the most recent statement needed to show a balance of at least 500k. It might be a good idea to ask your own country's Thai Embassy about this.

If you've only been in Thailand for 2 months, you shouldn't have any issues entering the country again in September.

I doubt you were rejected after only being in Thailand for 2 months previously. You either have an extensive history in Thailand or something else was going on.
