TLDR : Answer Summary

The user has stayed in Thailand for six months under tourist visas and plans to leave in June, but has a medical appointment in August. They are inquiring if they can return with a visa on arrival after just one month back in their home country. Community members express concerns about potential entry denial due to their extended stay, suggesting that having a medical appointment letter may help. They also mention considering a medical visa but note that aesthetic procedures are generally not considered valid medical reasons for such a visa.

You won't have any problems. Immigration doesn't get concerned for just 6 months, and then you returning to your home country. They do get concerned when your stay is getting close to one year, and you've never returned to your home country. Before your next trip get a multi-entry tourist visa. You can stretch this into 9 months with no problem.

And you need to be in Bangkok for the injections? They're not available in your own country? Why am I thinking "clutching at straws"? 😆

Take a look at the medical visa rather than the tourist visa and see if you satisfy the criteria

At the minimum you will be pulled aside and questioned for 30 minutes to an hour. At worst you may be denied entry to Thailand and sent back.

Being in the country for 6 months then leaving for only 1 month before returning is not the behavior of a tourist and there's a strong possibility of passport control telling you the same thing.
