Two 72hr transit visas

Can you get two 72 hr transit free within a short period of time? For ex, we want to fly into Guilin, spend 3 days then fly to Thailand and perhaps Cambodia. If we then go back to China (Beijing), spend 3 days before flying back to US, would we be able to get the 72 hr twovs for both Guilin and Beijing within such a short time frame?

Are you flying from the US to Guilin?
As far as I know there are no nonstop flights from the US to Guilin.
If you have another stop in China you're not eligible for the 72h twov (it's not a transit visa).

Otherwise you can use the twov as much as you want, there's no time limit.
Beijing doesn't have the 72h twov anymore but the 144h twov.

Thank you for your response. I didn't realize it had to be a direct flight, I thought if we were just changing planes it wouldn't count. If we do it the other way, fly into Beijing, then go to Cambodia, then to Guilin then Thailand I guess it would work? Of course, we will play with this to make it manageable but I just wanted to be sure that going back into China within a 2 week period would not disqualify one from getting the second twov.

As long as you will be directly arriving from a country and departing to a different country it will work (e.g., US-Beijing-Cambodia, then Cambodia-Guilin-Thailand). There are also no limit on how many times or how often you can do this.

Well there are not many international flights to Guilin (Thailand and Malaysia are the only 2 destinations in SE Asia).

Flights from Siem Reap have a stop in China (Shanghai, Nanning or Guangzhou)
