Do you mean a border bounce with a visa, or do you mean returning by air to get a visa exempt entry? If you have a visa, there is no limit on land entries. If you are planning to return by air for a visa exempt entry, reconsider. You might be denied entry, and should attempt to get a tourist visa from a Thai consulate (perhaps in Hanoi) instead. Direct flights from Chiang Mai to Hanoi are not very expensive.

I was thinking of a visa exempt entry. I just need one because after the end of this year, I can do again border bounce by bus through Mae Sai two more times. But well, the idea is to get a one year Visa but cannot apply for that yet so have to wait, but until then, I need to make sure I can stay in Thailand as much as possible. 

So the cheapest place by plane is to Hanoi? ????
