retain your spent boarding pass in to Thailand as proof of incoming flight and hand that over to the Immigration office with your passport. Then have your flight out booking confirmation printed to hand over as well. The 60 day visa exempt is a very simple, no fuss way to enter the country. You will have no issues my friend and enjoy Thailand.

No need to worry, you have satisfied the requirements of the visa exemption scheme

it is also on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs website, albeit worded slightly differently.

I think you were just unlucky on the day and got an immigration officer in a bad mood. You will always get more hassle when your passport is full of stamps. Just the way it is. It seems you are not breaking rules, or even abusing the system like some people who have back to back extensions are. I would just forget about it and carry on as you are. To make life easier, I would probably book a very cheap flight out of Thailand within the 30 days to prove your intentions. Yes, this might be wasted but this is actually a requirement anyway.

P.s. your written English is great, so I very much doubt spoken English was a factor here, especially when most IOs don’t speak much English themselves.

Thai Embassy, London website states 3 times in 6 months maximum.

A 60 day regular extension doesn’t exist.

Heard their business class is excellent

this is good advice. You are a genuine long stay visitor to Thailand and should not worry about immigration interactions 😊

Yes the flight coming into Thailand

Arrived on 1st January. First checkpoint at the airport they want to see negative PCR, Thailand Pass and passport.

Immigration then wanted to see my e-visa printout.

After baggage claim came the PCR test. Initially on approach they want to see you’ve got the psas booking confirmation and then at the actual desk they asked for the psas confirmation and hotel confirmation.

I had print outs of everything though just to be safe. There’s actually a place now you can print the documents at the airport. You go to a diffident queue and once printed rejoin the back of the main queue.
