TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is concerned about potential issues with Thai immigration after using a 60-day visa and planning to re-enter Thailand on a visa exemption. Comments suggest that while there might be a slight chance of questioning at immigration, especially if there is a history of similar visits, many believe the user is unlikely to face problems. It's recommended to bring proof of funds, accommodation, and a return ticket to ensure smooth entry.

with the entry history you outline you run a slim to none chance of being questioned on entry. I personally wouldn't worry about it at all.

If you have a long history of doing this there might be a problem. The thing is we are not immigration officers, its up to the officer who is stamping you in at the time.

If you want to come in visa exempt which gives you 30 days plus another 30 days by going to the local immigration office. I would suggest bringing the 3 proofs.

20k baht or equivelant currency in cash, hotel booking confirmation and fligt ticket out of thailand within the 60days.

there’s no history of me in and out

2013 two weeks

May 2019 two week

December 2019 6 weeks (60 visa)

I already have a trip booked for March 25th for two weeks but work is quiet and it’s cold in the uk so fancy a week there from tomorrow but I don’t want to jeopardise my March trip

Is that your only previous visit to Thailand? You've never been prior to that? What is your nationality?

Maybe. It all depends on if the immigration officer thinks you’re taking advantage of the system.
