Thailand visa TR visa Visa on Arrival Thai immigration rules Expats in Thailand Short stay visa Re-entry visa

ORIGINAL POSTER

I have an approved TR visa sticker in my passport. Valid until September 15. 

I plan to arrive in Thailand for a short 2 week visit. Leave for 1 week. Then, re-enter and stay for 60 days. 

So, can I receive a VOA stamp and 'save' this official TR visa and use it upon my later entry or will the immigration officer 100% for sure use my TR visa on my first entry?
