I am currently in Thailand on visa exempt for 60 days. Returning home 6th April.

Are there any restrictions as to how long I have to wait before returning to Thailand again? 

(I want to return to UK for 3 weeks then back to Thailand for 21 days)

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is in Thailand on a 60-day visa exempt entry and plans to return to the UK for three weeks before coming back to Thailand for an additional 21 days. They inquire about any restrictions on the waiting period before re-entering Thailand. Comments clarify that there are no specific time restrictions for returning on a visa exempt entry; however, prior immigration history will impact re-entry acceptance. It's important for the user to have accommodation details, proof of departure flight, and sufficient cash available for immigration checks upon their return.

No amount time out of Thailand is required to be able to enter Thailand again as Visa Exempt Entry.

However, your prior Thai Immigration history will likely determine if you are allowed to enter Thailand as Visa EXEMPT ENTRY.

Be prepared for questions...by Thai Immigration Officers upon arrival.

Have the address where you will be staying during the first week...

Have PROOF of your flight departing Thailand within the number of days you are STAMPED in on arrival. Which is 59 days.

Have 20,000 Thai baht in cash or in equivalent foreign currency to show Thai Immigration Officers if ASKED.

If you don't have a recent history of staying in Thailand in 2024 to now... likely allowed to enter Thailand Visa EXEMPT ENTRY.
