TLDR : Answer Summary

A Multiple Entry Tourist Visa (METV) is necessary for individuals wishing to enter Thailand multiple times within a six-month period. Valid reasons for obtaining an METV include planning multiple trips with a requirement to show proof of both entry and exit flights. It is essential to demonstrate the need for a visa by providing itinerary details that reflect the intent to leave and return, especially for travelers who plan to stay only part-time in Thailand or enter the country by different means, such as by car.

You’ll be traveling not spending the whole time in Thailand which you’ll have to exit and re enter for the first two 90 day stays

Entering Thailand multiple times during a 6 month period.

You need to upload a flight into Thailand, a flight out of Thailand within 60 days of your arrival, then another flight into Thailand before the 6 months. That shows multiple entries and the need for a multiple entry visa.

Paul Mordue The flights as Brandon detailed demonstrate the need for multi entry. You do not have to write anything.
