"Well I know someone who knows someone who lived here for two years on visa-exempts" means nothing.

The amount of time you can get away with here on back-to-back exemptions is a roll of a dice.

The point is that sooner or later, your number *will* come up.

Worth taking those warnings seriously, as people can and do get denied, all the time.

If you've already attracted their attention enough to get onto their radar, best not to push your luck.

Probably "unlimited" in the same way that visa-exempt air entries already are "unlimited".

No legal limit, but after 4-8 months (give or take) on nothing but back-to-back border bounces, you have a *high* chance of being pulled out of line to the back office & questioned about what you're doing here.

Post from Tod Daniels appears to confirm removal of 2X-a-year limit with photo evidence.

But yep, like you say, the removal of the *legal* limit doesn't mean people can now stay for years on end on back-to-back visa-exempt stamps.

If you have a visa, there is no land entry limit (though if you've already been here multiple months on short-term tourist stays, you run the risk of being questioned or even denied).

There is a legal limit of two *visa-exempt* land entries in a calendar year.

So to clarify; your 4 land entries:

1) Were they all visa-exempt?

2) Did you make them before or after Jan 1st 2024?

"How long can I stay in TH on tourist visas" is like asking "how long is a piece of string".

No official limit; you can do it until you can't.

But that "until you can't" point *will* come, sooner or later.

The immigration officer will, ultimately.

If you've been here 4 months, six months, or longer on nothing but visa-exempt entries, just going out then straight back in, however, then the likelihood of an immigration officer viewing your history as "extensive" goes up several notches.

It depends on whoevers dealing with you.

Technically they can insist on 20K B in cash. They may do exactly that.

However, last year I was pulled aside at the airport and asked for the Three Proofs, and a copy of my Thai bank book was accepted. (I had already had to show it in KL to get the visa in the first place).

Your steps for increasing the chances of not being denied seem good enough, and you have an onward ticket so that should be good enough.

I'd say you'll be fine, notwithstanding a questioning by Imm officers. However, it is still up to the Imm officer dealing with you.

Only other thing I can suggest is to avoid Suvarnabhumi airport if possible.

This is why I always just physically go into immigration and do mine there.

Ima continue doing so until they get their shit together and make it work.

When that'll be, who knows.
