Arrived in Thailand 28th Feb an got a 60 days visa at Bangkok airport.

This is my experience at the Thai, Laos Vientiane crossing these past few days on a visa bounce.

Left Thailand on 25th April. The Thai immigration officer said I could not return as they were clamping down on visa bounce however she did not red flag me in the system. She told me to take a chance and it was the returning visa officers decision whether I could enter or notm

On 29th I returned and once again the visa officer stated I could not enter. However my wife of 38yrs explained I had a return ticket to the USA and that next visit would be on a non O visa obtained in Washington. Phew! Luckily he accepted this and stamped me for a further 60 days we had our house blue book, marriage cert and my ticket. Preparation I believe helped.

Be careful they are getting much stricter.

Hope this helps.

So i got the dreaded red stamp in my last tourist visa, but i can still do 2 bounces/ year. My question is if those 2 bounces are calendar year or 12 months after the first one?
