Will I be allowed to re-enter Thailand for 1-2 months after a short trip to Vietnam?

I‘m so fed up with this media panic made up stuff. They are not contolling genuine tourists with only touristic histories in Thailand even if they enter 10 times on visa exemption for a couple of weeks each time and go home. Nobody ever quoted this nonsense. Its all about repeated extensions after 60 days incl. multiple border runs and coming back again for 60 days and applying again for extensions all visible in the passport. Just use common sense and you will find out yourself if you meet the above or not.

You're not breaking any laws.

Yes, in that situation most people are allowed back in without issues, especially since your previous entry before this one was in 2024 and you’re spending time outside Thailand. Entry is always at the officer’s discretion, but having cash and an onward ticket helps. For the clearest, up to date info and travel tips, it’s worth looking up Landscape Hub

You're fine

If you are flying you should have no problem.

There is NEVER a clear answer as is up to the IO at point of entry however seeing as though you did not extend your previous or current 60 day stamp you should be fine.

Dress smart and having an onward ticket and cash in hand go a long way to appease the IO.

Current guidelines are max 150 days via visa-exempt in any calendar year, so you should be fine

You should have no problems

Where can I get a clear answer 😂😂😂 Only the IO you stand before when you enter and no-one else 😂😂

Take a look at this vlog from a guy whose partner is a Thai immigration officer. I am in the exact same position as you and it would seem if you can justify that trip to Vietnam is a holiday and not a visa run, you should be OK.

If you love Thailand. Consider DTV visa which way cheaper than Elite Visa.

You really shouldn’t have any problems at all.

You are ok

Yes. Based on this, You will absolutely be granted another 60 day on return.

The definite answer you can get is you email Thai immigration with your in out records, they will answer your query..

I just entered for my 5th time in the last year. No issues at all. No return flight checked, no money checked. Will be leaving for 2 weeks again on Boxing Day and coming back again. Never had an issue

Nothing to worry about.

You have no maxed your possible options to stay with extention, so think you will be OK 👍🏻

Worst case scenario they put you on a plane back to Vietnam, so it’s worth a try. I think they will allow you in, but I am not 100% sure

Based on what you describe, you should normally be allowed to re enter Thailand without any issues. You have used the 60 days visa exemption as intended, you are leaving before it expires, and your previous entry before this stay was back in 2024. That places you well outside the type of travel pattern the new formalised guidelines are aimed at. A return after 2 to 3 weeks in Vietnam for another short stay of 1 to 2 months still fits squarely within ordinary tourism under the Visa exemption system itself. There is no formal rule that limits you to a specific number of days per year or restricts you to only one visa exemption in a calendar year. What immigration looks at in practice is your total time spent in Thailand within a rolling cycle and whether your pattern suggests genuine tourism or an attempt to reside long term without the appropriate visa. Your pattern clearly points to normal tourist use. As always, entry is at the discretion of the IO you meet, but with an onward ticket within 60 days, proof of accommodation, and sufficient funds such as the 20k, there is nothing in your history that should raise concerns. There is no single place to get a “guaranteed” answer, as discretion always applies, but based on current practice and similar cases, your situation normally looks quite straightforward.
