Ingrid, if you travel like Zurich-Bangkok-Shanghai(2 days)-Bangkok-Zurich, you need to apply for a tourist L type for that.

Only the flights directly before and directly after Shanghai matter. So ZRH-BKK-SHA-BKK-ZRH isn't a transit to a 3rd country at Shanghai so you need a visa in advance. But ZRH-SHA-BKK-SHA-ZRH would be fine because you transit to a 3rd country each time at Shanghai so you can have 144 hours free transit each time.
