I got the multi entry tourist visa back in august.   If I enter the country mid January and leave 50 days later (like 1st or 2nd week of March) .  I'm still good right?  The 6 months of validity is for entering the country not the whole stay , or am I doing this wrong? 

This is the snip from the visa :

Answer summary

The validity of your multi-entry tourist visa is 6 months from its issuance date, allowing you to enter Thailand multiple times within that timeframe. Your last entry must occur by 13th February 2027, according to the comments, regardless of your stay duration.

The 6 months validity starts from the date they ISSUED the visa (which was obviously 18th of Aug 2026) and whether you're inside or outside the country that visa validity runs down You can enter on it as much as you want to until the 13th of Feb 2027 <- (that is the last day the visa is valid for even if you never ever set foot in thailand) It's multiple entry so you get unlimited entries on it until that date and every entry gets you stamped in for 60 days.

TY for the response. So my only hiccup and I'm not sure what our final plan will be but we were thinking of leaving Thailand sometime around early March for Vietnam for a few weeks then POSSIBLY going back thru Thailand for our flight home (stopping off in BKK for a few days) but that is outside of the tourist visa coverage. If I bounce into BKK but have a flight only 4 days after (traveling from Vietnam) think I will have an issue arriving for a standard (USA) visa exemption for short stay ? (under 30 days) or will they likely deny entry at that point (if so we'll just figure out a way to fly directly out of Da Nang back home)

no one can tell you if you'll get in free stamp after just spending a lot of time here on a 6 month METV.. They could look at you with a critical eye

BUT

I'd say as long as you had proof you're flying out (back to your country) within the 30 days you'd stamp in for I'd say you have a good chance of getting in without issue free stamp
