TLDR : Answer Summary

The user inquires about the possibility of entering Thailand three times in one year, accumulating up to nine months with a tourist visa and extensions. Comments suggest that obtaining tourist visas in advance from a Thai consulate should not pose a problem, and there is a mention of considering the appropriate visa and work permit due to their profession as a yoga instructor.

You are working as a yoga instructor, maybe get the correct visa and work permit.

so you would be buying tourist visas from a thai consulate before you came here each time correct?

That shouldn't be a problem at all.

I am already in Thailand, since almost 5 months, extending for 30 days tomorow. Going to get my next tourist visa probably in Kota Bharu, Malaysia.

What country are you going to apply for your visa in?

If you do it in your home country before you leave you might be eligible for a multiple entry tourist visa.

, I believe that you heard wrong ;)

There is no 6 months in a year rule about being in thailand, in fact there's no rule about the how long you can stay here during any length of time.
