Can I apply for a new visa in the UK before returning to Thailand on August 29th when my current visa expires on August 28th?

ORIGINAL POSTER
I have currently lived in Samui for 4 1/2 years, my visa is to be renewed on August 28th 2019, I will be in the UK from 8 - 28 Aug, arriving back in BKK on 29th.

What with all the confusion around the combination method of money, (monthly income plus money in bank) I was thinking that maybe instead of the hassle of doing early here, would it be better to apply for a new one in UK and come back in on that. Remembering that my current will run out on 28th and I'd come back in a new one on 29th.

Does anyone forsee any issues?

Many thanks.
