I have a METV that will have one 30 day extension. I am doing a border bounce turn around flight to Penang from DMK. No history of previous border crossings, Covid extensions, or TR’s. Only visa exempt stamps and an old OA visa. I have a paid flight out of Thailand before the 60 days are up.

Any foreseeable problem doing this? I plan on leaving my bags in my hotel in Bangkok.

TIA
