ORIGINAL POSTER

Hi all, is the border bounce limit of twice per year based on your entry in the system or based on the stamps in your passport? Asking because I've done my 2 bounces already this year but I've recently gotten a new passport without any stamps. Much thanks!

TLDR : Answer Summary

The border bounce limit in Thailand is based on entries recorded in the immigration system rather than passport stamps. Therefore, even with a new passport that has no stamps, the computer system will reflect your two prior land entries for the year.

It's 2 land entries a year. Technically, no limit on entry by air

Every entry will be on their computer system. A new passport won't help you these days
