Visa free entry - we entered Thailand by air, received our 30 day visa free entry. Left within the 30 days and have travelled Cambodia for last 25 days.

Just to confirm if we cross land border back from Cambodia>Thailand we will receive another 30 visa free entry?

We then leave Thailand and unlikely to return for a year or more, not intending on staying.

Thank you.

TLDR : Answer Summary
If you return to Thailand from Cambodia by land, you will receive a new 30-day visa exemption stamp upon arrival. It's essential to present proof of your departure plans from Thailand when questioned by immigration officers. Additionally, avoid using the Poipet border crossing for a smoother entry experience.

YES...you will get a 30 day STAMP on arrival into Thailand from Cambodia as Visa Exempt Entry.

If asked by Thai Immigration Officers, just show them your flight ✈️ DEPARTING Thailand as planned.

If you are entering by land border crossing, AVOID POIPET BORDER CROSSING. Use other land border entries into Thailand from Cambodia.

Yes you will be ok if you have not spent too much time in Thailand over the last 12 to 18 months. Another 30 day entry stamp with the 30 day extension if required.

thank you very much for this, all good, not been in Thailand for 10 years and not planning on returning for at least 12 months, if at all.
