ORIGINAL POSTERFrom the horse's mouth. No official rule about 2 visa exempt entries per year.
TLDR : Answer Summary
There is currently no official rule limiting the number of visa-exempt entries into Thailand per year, although immigration officers are monitoring border run activities more closely. Many individuals report having entered multiple times without issues, and it appears that immigration is primarily concerned with those who exploit the system for long-term stays without proper visas.

There has never been a new rules about this issue. Only immigration officers enhanced to check through. And strict enforcement to suspected people only.

Amen. Sadly, too many people take everything on Facebook for a fact without doing their own source checking.

I am ever so slightly overweight and my doctor told me that cycling was an excellent form of cardiovascular exercise, in addition he said that back peddling was also very good.

I don’t think they are bothered about people staying long term, just people who stay long term without paying for the privilege.
I’m ok with it but I wish there was a simpler option for under 50s.

Adam Dixon Well if you are under 50 and you want to stay longer than 90 days a year, why not take the METV?

Sue Heimchen need much longer than that. When my current visa runs out I’ll have to do the DTV but ideally I didn’t want to do the Muay Thai/cooking as none near where I stay. I’ll sort something out I’m sure.

I said this from the start because immigration told me there was no limit but they are tracking border run abusers and people in general that abuse the visa exempt system trying to stay there long term

ORIGINAL POSTER@Peter ***************
it's a lot more about how long you've spent in Thailand as a tourist than it is about how many times you enterAlan **********

Suggestion - delete the clown comments, or maybe even ALL of them, and close the post, so that anyone finding it as a reference will not be confused by same.Squid ********
