WAY better option than either of the two airports in Bangkok that's for sure.

OP3-4 tourist visas, a few multi-entry non-b, then visa exempt, and now SETV. So not a lot of back to back tourist visas over the last few years, but consulate did question me a lot about working when I applied for the tourist visa as they flicked through my passport. Immigration at Phuket didn't care at all.
