Is it the case that the 60 day visa exempt is only for

Tourists arriving by plane? I was hoping to enter Thailand by train from Malaysia. And exit BKK

Answer summary

The 60-day visa exemption in Thailand is not limited to tourists arriving by plane. Travelers can also obtain the 60-day visa exemption whether they enter Thailand via land, sea, or air, provided their nationality allows for it. However, there is a unique situation for Myanmar passport holders, who can only access a 14-day visa exemption when entering by air.

There is only 1 special, particular circumstance for Myanmar passports only where they can only get free Bilateral Visa Exemption for 14 Days Stay ( ผผ.14 ) ONLY by making Entry into Thailand via Air into Airports, otherwise if it is free Visa exempt for 60 Days Stay ( ผ.60–ม.17 ) or free Bilateral Visa Exemption for 90 Days Stay ( ผผ.90 ), then any Method of Entry into Thailand is eligible (Land, Sea, Air)

No, it's citizenship dependant, not method of entry dependant.

No. You get 60 days visa exempt however you enter, assuming your passport entitles you to enter visa exempt
