On the face of it your history is pretty much genuine tourist, especially if you returned home in between. Shouldn't have a problem, have the 3 proofs 20K cash, accommodation, return ticket.

If your entry last time didn't come with a "get visa next time" warning you should be fine especially if you returned to your home country after each visit

No one can tell you if there will be an issue . It is up to the Immigration officer to make that decision based on your travel history , response to their questions and if they consider you as a tourist.
Be aware ,the government is considering reducing the visa exempt from 60 days to 30 days , at present is only under consideration.
