METV or Visa Exemption for multiple short-stay entries? (+ internal flights).

Not completely useless.  If one is flying into Thailand's BKK airports, and staying in Thailand most of the time, one is less-likely to be denied-entry with a Tourist-Visa than Visa-Exempt.  The visa costs less than paying the "guaranteed entry" agent ~3K per entry.  

 

But OP is not staying in Thailand most of the time. He is staying one week at a time, the most he did was 14 days one time

Yes, I was responding to the oft-repeated statement that Tourist Visas were now useless due to Visa-Exempt being 60-days now.

That's because the METV is nearly useless now that visa exempts are 60 days, and I'm sure almost nobody else is bothering to apply for them.

I said nearly useless, not completely useless.  The OP is not staying in Thailand most of the time or anything remotely close to that, so it is useless for him.
