Why choose an e-visa over the 60-day exemption?

[anotherfarangishere]

Hello!

 

I'm in Korea. Last year, I was also in Korea, and I got an e-visa. It worked fine.

But with the 60-day exemption, why should I get one again? What's the difference, especially since it seems that 60-day exemptions are now unlimited?

Thank you!

So if I get a 60 days exemption and leave Thailand (by land or Air) can I get another 60 days on my return and repeat this many times?

Not exactly.  There is no specific limit on entries, but if you do that enough times, some IO will tell you that you've been staying in Thailand too long and hassle you when you try to enter.  Nothing about that has changed by air.  

 

By land, there used to be a limit of two entries per year, but they removed that limit.  But same as by air, the IO can still tell you that you've been staying in Thailand too long, hassle you or deny you entry.  I preferred the old way when you knew the rule was two hassle free entries.  I think the new way with no limit is much worse because IOs are making up their own rules.
