ORIGINAL POSTER

Has anyone doing a visa run returning directly to Koh Samui airport had any  trouble returning? For example almost at the 6 month mark thinking to fly Koh Samui to Singapore for a few days and return. Has Samui airport immigration been easy to get your next 6 month stamp no issues?
