With the new rules, how many times can I enter in Thailand with a visa exemption? I'll enter by plane and won't extend the exemption.
Answer summary
The rules for entering Thailand with a visa exemption have not changed significantly, but the enforcement may be stricter. Generally, it's suggested that genuine tourists can enter multiple times, potentially unlimited, without issues. However, habitual border crosses may face restrictions, likely limiting them to two entries. It's also emphasized that the length of stay and previous visa history play a crucial role in determining entry eligibility.

If you are a genuine tourist then you can come as many times as you want and you will have no problems whatsoever.

What the changes you have heard about are to stop people working illegally and living in Thailand.

If you are a tourist you are probably fine. If you are trying to live (or almost live) there or spend an extended time then you might have issues. It all depends on what the IO thinks you are trying to do.

Return flight to your home country, staying, two three four weeks at a time staying at local hotels they will lay out the red carpet for you. Come and go as many times as you want.

Rules haven't changed but they are just tightening up with how exempt entries for tourists were meant to buy used. Total seems to be 60+30 and a further 60 in a year as a tourist on holiday.
