JCVD movie "Kickboxer" I watched as a kid

@Az *****

yes that's okay

It depends on how you do it, if you return after spending just few days in another country and each time stay maximum number of days on exemption, after 2-3 times they will ask you a bunch of questions and possibly give you like 7 days stamp and recommend you not coming back for a while.

If you just fly in occasionally and stay a month or so, can be done up to 6 times. It will look like you're just traveling Asia, using BKK as your "base".

Yes you can but you should fly, not cross by land.

If you do a couple of border runs for a week or two to neighbor countries by *flying* they'll let you back in no problem. It's not cheaper than a tourist visa (but still cheap!) but more fun and less hassle with papers. Too much nonsense needed for a 60+30 tourist visa (if applying by yourself from your country).
