Planning to stay with my parents for an additional 30 days, is it a better idea to extend my visa exempt stamp, or to leave the country and apply for a Single Entry Tourist Visa at an Embassy? 

Obviously one makes more sense financially, but the question is - where would there be more of a problem with my many exempt stamps (from previous visits)? an Embassy abroad and upon arrival at the airport, or at Immigration in Bangkok? 

Thanks in advance.

Summary so far

The user is contemplating whether to extend their visa exempt stamp or to leave Thailand to apply for a Single Entry Tourist Visa at an embassy, considering the implications of having multiple exempt stamps from prior visits on their application process.
