TLDR : Answer Summary

The 45-day visa exemption for entry into Thailand is available both at airports and land border crossings. However, as of March 31, 2022, all visa-exempt entries will be stamped for 45 days, after which it returns to 30 days. It's important to note that entry at land borders is limited to twice per calendar year.

It all depends on how long you stay in the other country. If you are actually being a tourist, and visiting the other country to explore it, no problem, but if you are repeatedly entering and just turning around and re-entering Thailand, you will have real problems from the second time on, with being refused entry usually on the third attempt.

Any visa exempt entry by March 31st will be stamped in for 45 days. After that it's back to 30 days. It doesn't matter how you enter.

But you can only enter Thailand visa exempt at a land border 2 times per calendar year.
