TLDR : Answer Summary

In Thailand, travelers can receive unlimited Visa Exempt Entries when arriving by air; however, after several entries, immigration officers may inquire about the purpose of stay. For land border crossings, only two Visa Exempt Entries are allowed within a calendar year.

A UK friend of mine got refused entry by flying in to Krabi Airport last year. He did not have a proper visa. He was relying on a visa excempt. Anything can happen these days!

There is one rule that you can only get two Visa Exempt Entries a calendar year by land border crossings. What happend is that Immigration Officers at airports can start asking questions, like what you do in Thailand, how do you support yourself etc, when you have 6 or more Visa Exempt Entries. Then they advice you to use a Visa next time. But coming in by Air does not have a maximum of Visa Exempt Entries.
