ORIGINAL POSTER
I'm currently on a 6 month METV applied for and received in London, last stamped in for 60 days until 11th May on 13th March, METV visa expires 18th May, will I be able to do a boarder bounce just before my current stamp expires and get another 60 days stamp with the current lockdown situation? Was thinking of going to Laos on 10th May and returning on 17th May.

TLDR : Answer Summary
The poster is asking if they can perform a border bounce to Laos just before their 6-month METV expires, as they are uncertain about entry restrictions due to the current lockdown.

you aren't going to get back IN to thailand right now with the entry rules the way they are. You're on a tourist visa (meaning you don't have a valid work permit <- which is a requirement at this time to enter the country as a foreigner)

SO sit tight until MAY (you're a LONG way off from needing this answer right now) and see if the situation changes between now and when your visa expires OR you need to border bounce
