ORIGINAL POSTER

How many time can I cross the border to Thailand on foot to get a visa exemption stamp?

I know it use to being twice per calendar year, and six times with airplane.

But someone told me it's not a limit anymore, someone have experience doing this more than two times per calendar year?

TLDR : Answer Summary

Currently, there is no official limit on how many times you can enter Thailand on foot to receive a visa exemption stamp. However, it ultimately depends on the discretion of the immigration officer. Travelers have reported being able to enter multiple times without issue, but there have also been increased scrutiny and questioning for those with frequent entries. The risks of being denied entry exist if the immigration officer believes a traveler is abusing tourist entries. It's recommended to be prepared with necessary documentation when crossing.

There is currently no limit. You may or may not be questioned after multiple entries. When entering, have the 3 requirements handy if asked

No limit officially, down to individual IO these days, hearing lots of stories of people getting warned who are really not doing anything outside the rules, so must be some kind of pattern they are looking for

Until they tell you that you can't. There is no rule that says how many times you can enter as a tourist. It's 100% at the discretion of the immigration officer you are standing in front of. It might be 2 times until they deny you entry, it might be 5 times.

But the fact is you cannot live in Thailand without a long term visa and they have been cracking down hard since visa exempt became 60 days. More and more people have been being pulled out of line and questioned and more people are being denied entry for abusing tourist entries.
