TLDR : Answer Summary
The user inquires whether they will face issues obtaining a visa exemption upon returning to Thailand after a trip to Sri Lanka. Community members reassure that as long as there isn't a history of extensive stays in Thailand prior to their recent departure, re-entering should generally be fine. However, some caution that frequent consecutive entries on visa exemptions can raise concerns with immigration about one's status as a genuine tourist.

You will probably be fine but there are no certainties.

Should not be a problem based on your plans and you will get another 60 day visa excemption entry when you return to Thailand..

However Keep in mind if you repeatedly enter Thailand consecutively on Visa excemptions then you stop looking like a genuine tourist and start to look like someone trying to live in Thailand on Visa Excemption entry and that could eventually become a problem..

Just something to keep in mind

Not unless you have a history up to November of staying in Thailand as a tourist

@Dmb ******
each immigration office is independent. And not correlated to entry points. And English is a major challenge at many offices. All well known. You won’t get good information there
