Is it risky to fly into Bangkok on an ED visa after multiple tourist visas, or is a land crossing from Vientiane a better option?

ORIGINAL POSTER
I know there is no concrete answer to this post but would really appreciate some input anyways.

I am an American with 3 back to back tourist visas. I just got a 6 month ED visa in Vietnam. I was thinking I might fly to Vientiane and do a land crossing there. However, that will cost quite a bit more and take a lot of time. With this many tourist visas before my ED would flying to suvarnabhumbi be most likely too risky? I know hard question to answer but would appreciate any input. I have proof of funds I can show.

So basically, am I being over cautious going through Vientiane and flying into bkk with an ED visa would most likely be ok? Or is going through the extra mile for a land crossing a wise decision?

Thanks for any input.
