What are the experiences of frequent tourists entering Thailand without visa runs or extensions?

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for people who have had a similar experience regarding regular trips to Thailand as a genuine tourist.

I hold a French passport, and my stays have been as follows:

* 20 days in December 2025, crossing over into January 2026;

* 25 days in February 2026;

* 59 days in July–August 2026, using an e-Visa because I wasn’t sure when the visa-exemption rules were going to change;

* and I’m planning to return for 17 days in December 2026.

I have never applied for an extension, never done a visa run, and never entered Thailand through a land border.

I’m genuinely a tourist. I simply have fairly regular holidays, which is why I tend to return around similar times each year, while spending at least three months back in my home country between trips.

For every trip, I have my return flight tickets, hotel bookings, and the 20,000 baht required in case of an immigration check. So far, I have never been asked any particular questions by immigration, nor have I ever received a warning or any remark regarding my previous entries.

I’d therefore like to know if anyone has had a similar situation: several tourist trips during the year, but always relatively short stays, with no extensions, visa runs, or land-border entries.

How did things go for you when entering Thailand again? Did you encounter any difficulties or get asked any particular questions by immigration?

Thanks in advance for sharing your experiences! 🙏
