TLDR : Answer Summary
In Thailand, you can generally utilize the visa exempt entry for 30 days and apply for a 30-day extension at the immigration office twice in a calendar year. However, the final decision rests with the immigration offices, especially if there have been repeated tourist entries and extensions in the past.

The law says two in a calendar year but it is still up to the Immigration Offices especially if in the previous year you had a succession of tourist entries and extensions
