Believe me Tod, in this realm, every answer can easily lead to another question or five, and I think you know that. 😁 Okay, well "unlimited entry/exit" is more info on it than I had found, so I thank you for that. I was hoping that was the case. That was one main thing I wanted to know—whether by default it is limited to like only 3 entries a year, or means unlimited entries, or what. They don't spell out these details, which forces newbies to pick things apart and ask follow-up questions. For me it is a very important question because I'm not interested in any one-year arrangement that would lock me into staying in Thailand the whole year (again, this view presupposes a return to relative normalcy next year regarding international travel).
