ORIGINAL POSTER
Hello everyone and once again, thank you to the group and Moderators. Very helpful stuff here.

Per my last post, I'm going back to Los Angeles to get my OA + 50 Visa from the L.A. consulate (as suggested) My question is how to get out of here legally with no problems.

I am currently on an ED visa which requires my 90 day report on 17/09 and actually expires on 26/09. My flight to LAX is 15/10.

My thinking is to just do 90 day report on line. Cancel ED visa @ CW on/about 20/19 Border Bounce (land)before my permitted exit date expires (last entered Thailand @ Nong Khai Dec 2018) to get 30 day stamp with an exit pn October 15th to get the OA.

Am I missing anything?

TIA

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is currently on an ED visa that requires a 90-day report before its expiration. They plan to complete the report online and handle the cancellation of their ED visa before 'border bouncing' to obtain a 30-day stamp for their exit. Their questions focus on whether this strategy is sound to leave Thailand legally before reapplying for an OA visa.
