Hi everyone,

Does anyone know how many times you can do a land border run in a year?
Answer summary
The number of land border runs you can do in Thailand depends on the type of visa you hold. For tourists or those on a visa exemption, generally, you can do around 2 border runs per year. However, those with a Double Entry Visa (DTV) can potentially make unlimited runs, as long as immigration allows it. It's important to follow the specific regulations related to your visa type to avoid complications.

few times a day, depending on how quick you run and get the stamps.

Makes it more than a thousand a year If you have a multiple entry visa

And the Immigration officers at both side let you keep going harrassing them

correct including the visa exempt entry you arrived into Thailand. ... and only one 30 Day extension allowed with the second one only being a 7 day extension.
