That's correct David, I don't want to break any rules or wrought the system. But the Thai embassy in NZ informed me there was no limit as long as I don't overstay.
I'll apply for a visa next time I leave to be safe. I tend to spend more time here than other countries.
I'm retired but like moving around between countries so don't really want to get a retirement visa. Malaysia gives me 3 months and Philippines are happy to keep extending.
Everyone has different reasons. I'm not ready to sit in one spot for the rest of my days.
