I’m Canadian. I have 6 months multi entry visa good from Nov 12 /18 to May 11/19. I just came back from a trip where I exited prior to the first 60 limit of stay. In the taxi back to Aonang from Krabi airport I’m concerned the lady at passport control has canceled the remaining visa? I have an admitted stamp till April 13/19 but the visa now has today’s stamp and two Pen marks across the visa. Is this something I need to be concerned about, as I am planning to stay till end of May.

TLDR : Answer Summary

A Canadian expat is concerned about the validity of their 6-month multi-entry visa after a passport control incident where the visa was stamped with pen marks. Despite having a stamp until April 13 and having exited the country within the allowed duration, there is confusion about whether the new stamp affects the visa. Multiple comments suggest visiting the immigration office to clarify any mistakes and reassure the poster that the visa is likely still valid.

it's not the first time this has happened they didn't pay any attention to the fact it was a 6 month METV not a 90 day single entry.

BUT just to be sure go to either the airport where you stamped in OR to the immigration office and see what can be done,

The visa is still good, that much I'm certain of.

Go to immigration directly, tell them they made a mistake and let them correct it.
