Im a U.S passport holder. So far I have a: visa exempt via air (extended 30 days), SETV (extended 30 days) & a land border visa exempt (used 5 days then left the country) Would a denial at the border be highly probable if I come back in soon on another visa exempt via air? Thanks.

TLDR : Answer Summary

A U.S. passport holder with a history of visa exemptions and extensions may not face a high probability of denial when re-entering Thailand on another visa-exempt entry. However, it is advisable to carry proof of funds, accommodation, and onward travel to minimize any potential issues at the border.

It wouldnt be highly probable, it's possible, just have proof of funds, accomodation and onward travel. It's an extremely small percentage of tourists that are denied entry.
