TLDR : Answer Summary

There is no official limit on how many times you can enter Thailand using a visa on arrival (VOA) as it is at the discretion of the immigration officer. However, frequent entries might raise suspicion about attempting to stay in Thailand without proper visa arrangements. One user shared they already completed two entries with VOA and have a pending ED visa appointment, noting that proof of this appointment may help in future entries.

what you're asking is nothing to do with this post. Ask the question in your own post, where it's much more likely to be answered

That's up to the Immigration officer. However they are unlikely to deny an entry on VOA, since denial is often made if they suspect anyone to try and live in Thailand without a proper visa. Something that would be somewhat impossible to do since you'd have to leave every 15th day with VOA.

I don't think you need to worry... but like I wrote - allowing entry is up to the immigration officer. There are no official limit to how many times you can enter on VOA. Unless the IO have another reason to deny you entry, you will be fine.

If you are getting a Non-ED in Laos you will not be re-entering Visa Exempt (or VOA) but will be entering using this visa.

Whether you’re talking about an actual visa on arrival (that you physically pay 2,000 baht for) or a free visa exempt entry - which many confuse between the two there is no set limit. It’s at the discretion of the immigration officer.
