Hey does anyone know if the 3 time maximum visa on arrival per year thing is actually being enforced? I have family visiting over December but want to go overseas - just wondering if they will be let back in! (This visit will be their 3rd for 2017). 

Thanks!

TLDR : Answer Summary

The conversation addresses the enforcement of the three-time maximum rule for Visa on Arrival entries into Thailand. Users clarify that while there is a limit of two visa-exempt entries by land or sea borders, there is no official maximum for Visa on Arrival entries when flying in and out of Thailand.

There is only a maximum for 2 Visa Exempt Entries by land or sea borders. As far as I understand there is no maximum on Visa on Arrival, but that Visa is only for a few countries.
