How to Manage Visa-Exempt Stamps and Border Runs for Thailand and Malaysia?

Visa-exempt Stamp Border Run Thailand Immigration Visa Extension Tourist Visa Motorcycle Registration Thailand Visa Rules

Dec 28, 2018

ORIGINAL POSTER

Hi All, first post here...

I had a visa-exempt stamp from a border run to Myanmar, extended by 30 days, expiring Jan 28. Planning then to do another border run, which would be my second consecutive but first in 2019. 

Then mid-feb will ride a motorcycle into Malaysia. While there my 30-day visa will expire (which I guess is irrelevant cos it's not multi-entry anyway). So I'll cross the border again, with Thai motorcycle registered in my name, second border crossing in 2019, and get a 30-day visa-exempt stamp at the time. Have I got that right? Or should I get a tourist visa in KL to be sure? Does the motorcycle have any bearing on the situation?

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is seeking clarification on the validity of consecutive border runs to Thailand, specifically about obtaining a visa-exempt stamp after an upcoming border run from Myanmar and the implications of traveling with a motorcycle registered in Thailand while also considering a possible tourist visa in Malaysia for added security.
