Can I do a border run with a new passport if I have already done two border runs?

Two months ago I did a visa run to Ban Pakkard. They said have to fly out the next time. Then I did my 30day extension.

I only had a couple more pages in my passport, so I got a new passport, empty except for the one stamp, of my visa expiring Sept 17th.

So I figured I could still do border run, as it's a completely new passport.

I was making reservation with the same visa run service, but they said , the last numbers would be on that new stamp, so they would know I've already done 2 border runs.

Is that true?

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user inquires whether they can perform a border run using a new passport after already completing two border runs. Community comments clarify that a new passport does not erase prior immigration history, as details are still traceable through various identifiers such as name, date of birth, and nationality. This means that immigration records will reflect the individual's past visa runs regardless of having a new passport.

You are confusing just what a new passport actually does.

It does NOT wipe your entry history to the country clean as the data base in use at EVERY point of entry a foreigner can enter searches by DOB, surname, nationality, sex etc.

All a new passport does is wipe the slate clean at a thai consulate when you go there to BUY a new visa because they don't use a data base

It is true. It all will be linked.

Yep. A new passport doesnt change your status with immigration. It's matched by name, dob, country of origin, gender etc.
