What is the required timeframe for staying out of Thailand before returning on a tourist visa after multiple border runs?

@Roberto ********

I'm going to look into that. Thanks for the info 👍👍

I understand that. I've traveled all over the world and been in and out of countries many times with various immigration statuses. For her, this is her first time to fly out, and she will probably stay in the Philippines for 2-4 weeks. Based on that, I don't think immigration will refuse her entry, at the immigration counter in Suvarnabhumi Airport, when there's a long line waiting, and she's only been out by air once and flew back in. All I was asking is, "is there a set timeframe on how long she must be out of the country before returning by air and starting another round of extensions by land?"

Brandon, I'm not trying to debate with you about it... I get that 100%. "All of her entries......and her total time in Thailand are the 2 important things." Where in the code of regulations for Thai immigration does it say that? Or, is it left to the discretion of the immigration officer, which is probably the case, like many things in Thailand, the Philippines, and other SE Asian countries. It's probably a gray area that left to interpretation by the individual officer. I think that if a 25 year old Filipina is trying to return again and standing at the airport immigration desk, compared to a 60 year old male from the USA, the young Asian will get preferential treatment. I know that's also not etched in stone, but I strongly believe that will happen. And you and I can only set here and 'assume' what will happen, because there's nothing written into the regulations that addresses this situation. The Thai government doesn't want to piss off China, India, the Philippines and other Asiatic partners by refusing reentry after a single flight out and back. But it would not be such an issue refusing a foreigner from north America. It's just politics.
