A foreigner who has entered the kingdom four (4) consecutive times on 15 days tourist exemption stamps, will not be allowed to leave the country and reenter Thailand. The only option is to exit Thailand and re-enter via an international airport, which will allow a further 30 day stay.

Wrong. Another option is not to return to Thailand at all and instead go to or remain in Cambodia or Malaysia. They are beautiful countries with nice beaches, and they are also quite cheap to stay in.
Yours faithfully
