Renting home property to pay for a rent in Thailand, is not that good, unless you have savings or another income to live on.

Depending on the property, take into account, land tax, land rental tax, water, body corporate fees, maintenance, realestate commision fee, ect ect.

Expences in Thailand, including visa's and flights.

ie - from $500 pw rental income recieved from two tenants, you will recieve about $160 from $500. Many aspects can go south.

When your property is no longer your primary residence, be aware of capitol gains tax on investment propertys.

Easy decision ? Yes possible.

Do you have a girlfriend.

Can you do me a favour.

Did you bring 20,000 baht cash.

Do you want to go to jail.

Just leave cash in passport.

Do another land border run, you will be arrested and deported, even if you have a visa and some kind of excuse to be doing a third land border run. Changing border locations will not help.

While there are no official restrictions on entry by air, immigration officers have the discretion to refuse tourists entry and require them to obtain a formal visa from a Thai embassy beforehand.

Ok , try visa runs back to back 3 + 4 times in a 1 year period on visa exemptions and see what happens.

Yes I have done so in the past, I would not advise doing this now.

Limited to a maximum of two visa-exempt entries per calendar year.
