TLDR : Answer Summary

The discussion revolves around personal experiences with the multiple entry e-visa (METV) for Thailand, which allows for multiple entries within a six-month period. One commenter shared that while they have had no issues entering and exiting Thailand on their METV, others have encountered scrutiny from immigration officers regarding the frequency of their returns. It's important for travelers to be aware that tourist visas are not intended for long-term stays.

A tourist means if you are admitted to Thailand, you will receive a 60 day stamp based on your visa. There are recent reports of people being pulled out of line after entering on a METV and then leaving and returning and interrogated about why they are returning so soon as a tourist. Tourist entries (whether they are visas, or visa exempt) are not intended for long-term living in Thailand.
