Interesting post on immigration monitoring from a reader on Stickman's site:

Pulled aside at Immigration.

On our way to Australia from Dublin, we broke our journey in Bangkok as we usually do to lessen the effects of jet lag.  At Immigration I was pulled aside for the first time in 41 years of visiting Thailand and taken to a room by a female Immigration official.  She said, “Sir, our records indicate that this is your 42nd visitation in the past 16 years.  Why so many visits, do you have business interests in Thailand?”  I assured her that our many visits were either holidays or to break up our trip back to Australia.  She left the room and returned with a male officer who inquired where we would be staying in Bangkok.  I informed him that we were booked at the Shangri La.  I then asked him what the problem was.  He said that high multiple visits now had a mandatory requirement for officers to inquire as to the traveller’s motives.  I informed him that if it were a problem then I would break further journeys in HCMC, KL or Singapore.  He assured me that there was no need to do that, duly stamped our passports and wished us well.  Has this occurrence been experienced by other frequent visitors?  Quite frankly, I now prefer Vietnam to Thailand and as such we will probably break further trips in Hanoi, Danang or HCMC.

There is no written limit other than visa exempt entries at land border crossings which is 2 per calendar year.
