Are there issues with a Canadian traveler reentering Thailand multiple times on a 30-day visa exemption?

Thomas ********************

Shouldn't be any issue. But it's always up to the officer you get. He'll pull up your entry-exit history and make the decision.

You might consider carrying proof of lodging, proof of onward travel, and 20k bht in cash (or foreign currency equivalent.)

You can also go to immigration in, for example, chaengwattana (bangkok) and extend each 60 day stamp for another 30.

I prefer that to border bounces.
