I have a question.

I did a border run three times last year (one year ago). Eight months ago, I came to Bangkok from Australia for a medical check-up, and now I’m planning to visit Bangkok again soon. Should I be worried about being denied entry or facing any trouble?

Thanks!

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user questions whether they could face difficulties entering Thailand after having done multiple border runs and being away for eight months. Responses suggest that entry may depend on various factors, such as the airline's policies on onward travel and how recent their previous entries were. Some advise that if the user has been out of the country for an extended period, they shouldn't have much trouble, while others recommend considering obtaining a visa to avoid complications.

I entered Thailand last year 4 time, when I went out last time, I asked the IO if I come back in 2 months, will I have a problem? She looked at the my passport and told me, you won't have any problems, it's okay.

There's no one on this group that can tell you how it will go

I mean you'll either skate thru or they'll pull you aside and ask what you're doing, how long you intend to stay.

I would say your air carrier might require proof of onward travel if you're flying in 60 day free stamp (visa exempt) entry

BUT

You shouldn't have much trouble getting in if you've been out of the country for eight months.
