TLDR : Answer Summary

The post asks about the frequency of entering Thailand on a tourist visa, particularly after a visa run, and whether it's possible to apply for another tourist visa after leaving the country. Comments indicate that while there is no official limit on entries, individuals should prepare with proper documentation like proof of accommodation and funds when entering, especially after multiple stays.

I have been here in Thailand for a couple years now - on tourist visa. I do like Robert describes, proof of accomondation, proof of funds, onward travel (when required). I leave Thailand 1-2 weeks every visa run. Travel by plane, always get visa -- I have not had any troubles. Many others like me, the same. Some people have issues - but some people make themselves problems. - Enjoy your travels

Official there is NO limit on how many times you can enter Thailand other than the two Visa Exempt Entries at land crossings a calendar year for 54 countries. The longer your history of living in Thailand and using Visa Exempt Entry and Tourist Visa the bigger the chance to get questioned at Immigration Check point. Prepare yourself with the 20.000 Thb or equivalent currency in CASH, proof of accommodation and onward travel. Next to this it could be good to have proof of funds coming in from abroad to avoid the suspicion of working inside Thailand.

I have a question for you : if I already entered Thailand twice by land this year with a visa exemption, can I enter once more by land with a 60 day tourist visa this time? Thanks!
