Can I leave Thailand by air without canceling my work permit and visa?

The conversation discusses the implications of leaving Thailand by air without canceling a work permit and visa. One commenter shares their experience of being stamped out without issues but warns that failing to cancel a work permit can cause problems when applying for a new one. Multiple participants confirm this concern, especially regarding future visa applications in the same administrative area. Although one user mentions their company will cancel the work permit after departure, another cautions that relying on the employer's actions might not be wise, as past experiences have resulted in complications and costs for visa runs and paperwork.
