I returned to uk on 27-5-2026 after 6 months stay in thailand, I entered TH on a 90 day o visa from uk, did a border bounce to re-enter on a 60 day exempt. Then extended that by 30 days,. When can I return to thailand safely ?, I would like to return with a 90 day o visa (based on retirement) either 1-11-26 or 1-12-26. My previous trip to TH was for 7 months back in 22/23 starting with a 60 day tourist visa, I’ve done 11 trips in all since 2009,. Tia.

With a 90 day Non-O visa you won't have any issues

You shouldn't have any issues, you'll be coming on a proper visa. Before moving here I used to make several visa exempt 30 day trips, only asked once why I came to Thailand so much, I said because I love Thailand, the IO just smiled and stamped my passport. Coming with a proper visa you should sail right through.

You shouldn't have any problem getting in on a Non-O. I've often used that visa and never been asked about visa exemption or any previous trips. They once asked me where I was staying, I told them and that was OK.
