Yes, that plan will get you to 4 months.

Beware that you may need to show proof of onward travel out of Thailand within 60 days of arrival to be able to board your flight to Thailand.

Buy a cheap bus ticket out of Thailand to show, or google onward ticket and you can rent a plane ticket to show if needed.
