Hi!
I have a question regarding visa in Thailand.
I'm planning a trip to southeast asia this fall, I will arrive in Bangkok as first stop where i will stay for a couple of days.
I then intend to continue my trip to Indonesia and be there for a month or two.
After this i plan to go back to Thailand for a month or two.
My questions is how will the Visa be affected by this? If i have understood it correctly i get a 30 day visa at arrival as long as i have evidence i will go out of the country within 30 days. Can i apply for a toursit visa with 60 days for the secound entry into Thailand with multiple entries? Since the return flight goes from Bangkok i still need to go into Thailand at least once more. I also would want to go to cambodja and then back to Thailand, is that possible. If one applies for a tourist visa do i have to know the exact dates when i enter the country?
I hope you understand what i mean, ive been trying to get an answer of the Thai embassy but i have still not got any.
Ill appreciate any answer i get

Apply for your Thai visa in Indonesia, and yes you can get a double entry. Entering Thailand by land (from Cambodia) gives you a free 15 day visa exemption, so you may not need a double entry, just a single 60 day visa.

Yes you can get a 30-day visa exempt entry on arrival by air (15 days by land). Then to come back for a "month or two" it's better to have a tourist visa (60-day entry, extendable 30 more at Thai immigration for 1900 baht). Some Thai consulates issue double-entry visas but a lot of them only do single-entry. Anyway get what you can, then if you do a side-trip to Cambodia your current entry expires but you can get 15 days visa exempt at the border upon re-entry. Just know what your options are and try to time your entries accordingly. In a pinch you can always just do a border hop and get 15 more days.

Thanks, both of you!
I thought there still were restrictions regarding how many times you could enter the country thats why i asked about touristvisa. Since i can enter the country how many times i want i think i will just fly between Cambodia and Thailand and aquire 30 days more. Because that should be possible, right?

A few years ago there was a restriction of max 90 days per 6 months but that applied only to visa exemptions not actual visas, AND anyway that rule was dropped a long time ago. Now there is no limit to the number of entries on visas or visa exemptions. I've been here almost 9 years that way.

Hi,
I'm in a similar situation and still a little confused. I arrive in Thailand and plan on heading south to Malaysia after about a week or two, then to Indonesia and Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia before going back to Thailand traveling North and then entering Myanmar and back into Thailand to fly out of Bangkok. This idea gives me 3 entries into Thailand so should I get a triple entry visa or will I be ok with what I get on arrival as I dont plan on being there for over 30 days in any one stay.
Any help or advice is really appreciated, even to adjust the proposed route to make it easier.
Cheers.

Enter by Land: 15 day visa exemption
Enter by Air: 30 day visa exemption
Single entry visa: 60 days
That's how you figure out if you need a visa, so plan your route accordingly.

^Thai immigration won't usually care if/when/how you are leaving the country. As long as your nationality qualifies for visa-exemption you'll just get another entry.
