Since June I've entered Thailand (by air) on visa exemption already 3 times. The first two times I stayed 30 days visa exemption and extended 30 more days in immigration office. Then I went two months to Korea and now back on a 45 days visa exempt and I was hoping to do another border bounce and get another 45 days (for the last time), because I'm in the middle of some random course and extending only 30 days in immigration office is not enough for finishing the course.
But the last time I entered Thailand I was really questioned a lot by the officer about my reasons of coming to Thailand so often and staying so long, so I'm a bit worried that next time they might not allow me to enter. I understand that it's the officer's decision and no one can tell this for sure, but I would appreciate if someone has experience or advice about how probable it is to get denied entry.
Also my second option is to do a few days trip to Cambodia and apply for a 60days tourist visa there, as it apparently takes few days to be processed, but I was wondering could the visa request also be rejected for the same reason of staying in Thailand for too long?
I'm holding a Finnish passport and staying in Bangkok if that matters.
