    Seem to be hard to get info on specifics relating to Thai visas so though I'd ask here. I'm just wondering if it is possible to enter and leave Thailand 3 times in the space of around 90 days and only stay around 15 days on each stay?
    I'm thinking I should probably get a tourist visa but I don't wont to bother getting one if it isn't necessary?

    You get a new 30 day visa on arrival and you can do this as many times as you like. So for instance you could arrive in Thailand, stay there for up to 30 days, leave to visit Laos or whatever and then get a fresh 30 days when you next return to the border.

    You could actually just keep hopping over the border getting restamped and stay indefinitely.

    So in short, yes you can do what you were asking and you don't need a tourist visa. You'd have to pay for multiple entries anyway which would make the cost astronomical.

    Giggity?

    Giggity indeed :D

    Although I vaguely remember reading somewhere that you can only renew your thirty day visa 3 times i now i.e. max 90 days? Won't affect me though for what I have planned.

    You can only use 90 visa exempt days every 6 months (you could get 6 stamps if you use 15 days on each only) but this won't effect you obviously.

    The only problem with getting 3 visa exempt stamps is technically you have to show an onward flight. The only time I've ever been asked (I probably entered Thailand around 8 times in the last year) was when flying from Australia to Bangkok, so it shouldn't be a problem.

    Yeah, you won't have to do anything before arrival.

    Us Irish have it very handy at times not even needing to get visas to enter some countries like Thailand and Singapore.
