Will frequent short trips to Thailand on a visa-exempt basis raise immigration concerns?

The Burmese I know are far from rich but many of them drive into Thailand daily, almost every day of the year. OK, they do live right next to the border but still,there's a fee involved for bringing the car across as well as doing the border pass.

@Jay ********

short business trips are not an issue and don't require a wp or non b

@Jay ********

, depends on the relation to the client. A Non-B might be sufficient.

Main reason to refuse your entry is suspection that you work illegally, so it should help a lot.

@Harvey ****

unlimited entries by air, 2 over a land border per calendar year.

No 6 entries or 180 day rule exist.

This will not help at all. It could even cause issues in the future. As long as u travel a lot and don't stay more as 50% of the time you should be fine. For every case ask your girlfriend to handwrite you some short letter in thai and print her ID + phone number. However problems occur when you stay mostly in Thailand with some tourist/edu visa...

14 day trips shouldn't be a major issue actually. I know countless people that have been using Bangkok as a hub for such trips, though usually they don't enter Thailand 14 times a month, sometimes they do come and go up to 5 times a month with each entry rarely, if ever, exceeding 7 days. Usually it's just 1-3 days. They've never once faced any problems doing this.

Now they also don't do this every month. It might be once every 3 months that such a trip comes along. They fly to Bangkok, spend 2 nights then it's off to China for 10 days. Back to Thailand for 2 days, then it's India for a week. Finally, back to Thailand for one night and off home again. Rinse and repeat 2 or 3 months later, with a slightly different itinerary. This time, using Bangkok as a hub for travel to Vietnam and Malaysia, for example.

@Stuart ********

he means a 14 day stay each month. Its pretty easy to decipher what he meant.
