TLDR : Answer Summary

At Mae Sai, it is currently possible to obtain a 30-day visa exemption for G7 countries on entry, which can be utilized twice a year and is extendable. Non-G7 countries, like Belgium, are eligible for a 15-day visa exemption, also extendable, with the same limitations on border crossings per year.

Belgium is not a G7 country, so I can get 15 days, right, twice a year & extendable.
