Will I have any problems at Thai border control after multiple visits this year?
Hi. I have visited Thailand twice for 14 and 16 days this year and am traveling on december 29 for a 6 week stay. Will I have any problems with border control?
Answer summary
The questioner is concerned about potential issues with Thai border control given their history of multiple short visits this year. Responses from the community generally reassure that there should be no problems at border control for their upcoming trip, as they are viewed as a genuine tourist based on their entry history. However, some comments do raise concerns about potential scrutiny in the future if multiple tourist visas are obtained within a short timeframe.

a lot actually. Not everyone has to be poor and the Thais probably know this since they allow you to stay 60 days visa exempt with a possibility to extend.
