ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
The discussion centers around the implications of staying in Thailand for 180 days using border runs. Most commenters agree that if one holds a DTV (Digital Nomad Visa), doing two consecutive 180-day stays with a border run in between should not pose an issue. However, it's noted that the immigration rules may evolve, particularly for visa-exempt entries. There are concerns that frequent border runs could attract scrutiny in the future, especially when applying for a second DTV.
