  • Maybe this. Tourist arriving via an international airport will be given a 30 day visa exempt stamp, however people using OUT/IN method to extend their stay might be questioned after 6 visa exempt entries. There is no specific period given and there is no rule on how many visa exempt will be issued for one person. An old rule “90 days in a 180 days period” has been cancelled many years ago. As of 31st December 2016 Thailand limit visa exempt entries at land border to TWO per calendar year. Commented Feb 26, 2017 at 9:49
  • @SheikPaul Thanks. Apparently it is a warning generated by their computer system, not an official rule as suggested here: thaivisa.com/forum/topic/… Commented Feb 26, 2017 at 10:00
  • Are you staying in Thailand for a whole month each time or are those short visits? Commented Feb 26, 2017 at 10:00

    @DmitriZaitsev On the contrary that automatic warning is apparently programmed into the computers exactly for the reason I provided. The airport is the wrong place to try to assert your rights to an immigration official who believes he is right and will likely have support from other immigration officials who believe the same rule, even if they are factually mistaken about the law.

    Immgration officials have the right to refuse entry irregardless of specific rules. And if immigrations feels you are trying live in Thailand under the Visa Exemption rules, they can deny entry. Commented Feb 26, 2017 at 14:57
