TLDR : Answer Summary

Currently, entry into Thailand by land from Malaysia is limited to two times per calendar year for certain countries. If you've already crossed by land twice this year without a visa, you will need to obtain one for your next entry. Additionally, be prepared to show 20,000 THB in cash at the border.

Unless you had a visa when entering those two times by land, you will be needing one now.

The crossings by land border into Thailand are for some countries limited to two times a calendar year. If you use the Thai Malaysian border there is a big chance that they will ask you to show 20.000 Thb in cash. This is the list of countries limited to 2 times a calendar year:
