A little nervous because of stories I hear of denials, I wanted to share my experience. 

I arrived this morning (BKK) and got another 30 day stamp (visa waiver). It’s my 4th one since December and my 8th in the last 12 months. 

I have been working in other countries, here for 10-30 day holidays, never extending, with stints of weeks or months between visits. 

Now, I don’t profess to know immigration policy. But, it seems the denials are handed out to people trying to stay here long term and not to random frequent visitors.

Answer summary

The user shares their positive experience with the Thai visa waiver system, having received their 4th 30-day stamp upon arrival in Bangkok. They note that while they've heard stories of visa denials, it seems these primarily affect those seeking long-term stays rather than frequent short-term visitors like themselves.
