bounce out and back in at a border to get a new 30 day visa exempt entry.. You are allowed TWO 30 day visa exempt entries in a calendar year. (Jan 1 - Dec 31)

What is your nationality?

From a post in March 2019 you say you are Italian.

Did you ever get your NonB and a work permit?

you come back on a 30-day tourist visa-exempt ticket. If you choose to get another job in Thailand you would have to leave again in order to get a non-Imm B visa to get a work permit. That's the way it was 3 years ago when I was working there. Don't get ripped off by agents.

do yourself, it is just a question of leaving like any holiday maker and coming back in like a tourist
