Sorry to ask the perennial boring question..Each year I do 90 day session..60 free stamp plus extension at KP office.. Is that OK?
Answer summary
The question raises whether doing an annual visit to Thailand under a 60-day visa exemption followed by a 30-day extension is allowed. Responses confirm that this practice is acceptable under current Thai immigration rules, emphasizing that such usage is considered normal for tourists. Additionally, it's advised to have 20,000 baht or its equivalent available upon entry due to stricter enforcement of this rule.

Make sure to have 20,000 baht or equivalent with you on arrival, as they are currently more strict about that requirement.

Yes, that is perfectly fine. Coming in on a 60 day visa exempt entry and then doing a 30 day extension once per year is fully within the rules. There is no restriction against doing one 60 + 30 session per year, and it is still considered normal tourist use.
