Anonymous participant 831 that was a joke. You can go anytime you wish. Its not like UAE multiple entry visa where you must go within 60 days. Its a freedom visa.
Within the next 24 hours. My flight delayed an hour and I reached 10 mins late. They were not allowing me entry. After I showed airline certificate for delay, only then they allowed me entry. They are very strict on this rule so never ever think to violate it and don't listen to other people. They are all lying.
P.S., You can enter anytime in 5 years or never enter. Your visa, your choice.
You just leave a day before your 2nd report. Do a border run, preferably by land, spend a night overseas, and come back next day. That's the easiest and most efficient way to reset your clock.
Closing balance of 500K Baht is ok for you first.. Once your visa approves, you can apply for any number of dependents under the same bank statement. No matter just 2 people or 10; law doesn't states anything.
workcation is meant to run as smooth as possible because we have literally everything to prove our ligitmacy on spot. Questioning you for extra 15 mins at border is a surprise.
