I did three last year!!

They have to abide by the rules and regulations of the Thai Immigration Act!

Cambodia and Lao are becoming increasingly attractive!

And to be honest,it does require up to an 8 hours journey,( round trip)to the Cambodia border, but administratively there you get stamped out of Thailand,walk over the border,receive a Cambodian visa, get it cancelled; then walk back across to Thailand for another visa exemption stamp. All rather straight forward; though the whole exercise costs 3,900 baht. That does include a meal on the way back!

There is an office virtually next door to Immigration,which for a fee,( not a lot) can soothe the process. One vital document you must have is the registration at your accommodation. In my case the lady in charge of my appartments provided this. It was on my mobile which I showed to the Immigration Officer. Once that had been done I took all documents to the final stage,all paperwork was checked,a fee paid of 1,900 baht,photo taken,and passport returned forthwith.

Absolutely spot on Matthew! Which so many doomsayers on this site overlook totally. Tourism is invaluable to the Thai economy,brings in plenty of bucks,which they certainly won't want to do without! Having an emergency meeting with the PM says it all!

Acquiring a visa exemption stamp is not illegal!! And not working the system! It comes under the Thai Immigration Act!

Please with respect buddy, define a " typical tourist!" All my last visits to Thailand had been as a tourist,with a visa exemption stamp. After acquiring 60 extra days at Jomtien Immigration early July,I proceeded on three border runs over the following 6 months plus! And I know there is no limit on entrances in Thailand via air!

The whole process has to be more open and honest in my opinion! Or is it kept ambiguous for a reason!?

Border runs are legal otherwise they wouldn't be permitted.... Surely! 😜 Thai Immigration cooperate totally with this policy,as it makes money!! Think about it..? 🤣

Which comes under the Immigration Act,which all Immigration Officers have to follow!
