hi all

i am planning on staying in bkk for at least 6 months. im australian so there is no issue for me entering thailand.
question is, i am planning on making bkk my base for asia. i want to be able to say go to hong kong for the weekend or
some other neighbouring country on a whim for a couple of days.

would it make sense just to keep on entering thailand with the exempt visa, and make sure i leave/re-enter before 30 days?
would immigration question me on why i do this? and what if i dont have a return ticket since i will be travelling a bit....?
i see no point in getting the multiple entries if they dont allow me to exit/enter as i want.

thanks in advance

I've never been required or asked to show return flight information after arriving at BKK.

As an Australian u automatically get a 30 day visa every time u enter, however u can apply for a 3 month visa, which i think is done through the thai embassy or consul depending on where u live. I dont know about multiple 3 months visas, perhaps just do some searches on the internet or go and talk with someone from the embassy (thai).
