Can I cancel my ED visa at the Thai-Myanmar border and re-enter Thailand on an exemption stamp?

ED visa visa cancellation Thailand immigration border crossing exemption stamp Chiang Mai Mae Sai Tachileik passport issues

May 12, 2019

ORIGINAL POSTER

I need to leave Thailand to cancel my ED visa, and then re-enter on an exemption stamp and apply for a new passport (it's full).  

I was thinking of riding my motorcycle from Chiang Mai to Mae Sai/Tachileik to accomplish this as I'm sick of planes.  I have heard of the border guards holding passports and of course limitation to Tachileik town.  

If I cross at this border station will I get my official stamp out and then new Thai 30 exemption stamp in?  

Thanks,

Dan
