Now my visa expire 19th of march and im then in koh samui and i want to make a 30 day exemption visa, can i do a border bounce from Samui to Malaysia border and get my exemption visa approved or will i get denied?

Summary so far

The user seeks clarification on whether they can leave Koh Samui to the Malaysia border and then return to Thailand to obtain a 30-day visa exemption, considering their current visa situation.
