I read a few places that they not accept Online Tourist Visa as well if having to many entry pr year. I used this many times in the past as well. Only use exemption after they changed to 60 days. Before always 60 days online tourist visa. And only used 1x land border crossing by air pr year, to stay 90 days.
My history is every year, for 5 years about 90 days stay in January to April. And randomly a 4-6 week stay in October. Most with Online Tourist Visa. So I'm confused when they stated I need propper visa next time. Had me sign a paper note written in Thai.
