Yes but in thailand do not try to extend the 180day staying since during that process they want to review all the documentation again. Go to other counry instead for 1-2 days and come back with a 180day stamp again.

There’s no reason why you shouldn’t. But as an employee now I believe. Let’s see what others say.
