What is the definition of a ' good tourist?' And how long does a tourist need to stay to be a tourist? I've been to Thailand multiple times,always on holiday, sometimes for weeks,months,and took a career break when I stayed there for a total of 10 months. Obviously exiting the country on frequent occasions. I recently spent 8(returned to the UK in February this year)months there,doing several border runs,was then permitted to do so on three occasions per annum. And I do know if travelling by air there are no limitations on arrivals,as quoted by the Thai Embassy. Being the 5th biggest industry in the Thai economy,tourism generates a lot of income for the Thai Government. Something I would suggest they would rather not do without!

Discretion only within the regulations they have to follow. Can't make their own rules up!

Immigration Officers are government professionals,personal opinions and mood don't come into it! Or certainly shouldn't do! I was a Prison Officer for 24 years,so experienced similar!

You're correct on not requiring a visa,but incorrect on the period of stay in Thailand. That is definitely 6O days presently. Did this on three occasions recently,in

James that is brilliant! And oh so true! 😂 But I honestly feel they'll lose potential tourists to nearby countries,that allow easier entry! Cambodia,Lao,and the Philippines! Plus all aforementioned are cheaper!

But they have to obey the law, especially being government officials! And Thailand needs

tourism big time!

Excellent question,I hope you get an answer!

" Proof of accommodation for entire stay?" But it has been stated it is just the initial few days! More ambiguity! Clear as mud! Come on Thai Immigration please clear up the whole process! I suspect they don't want to; and that can be to the tourist's advantage!
