Hello,
I arrived in Thailand from Canada in Sep 2016 on a 6 month METV. I then left to Laos and entered back in the Kingdom at the end of February 2017 with a 1 year ED visa (studying Thai language). I then went to the border at Maesai and Myanmar a day before my ED visa was up. The officers were super helpful and cancelled my visa once I had the correct papers printed off and I went into the market in Myanmar for a few hours. When I came back to the Thai side the lady looked at my passport for quite some time and made a phone call (couldn't hear what she was saying). She reluctantly gave me my stamp and let me back in when I told her I was a student in Thai when she asked if I was finished teaching.
My question is: What are the chances of me being able to do one last visa run (will be leaving the country in the next 2ish months) in Maesai or Vientienne and be sure that I will be let back in the country? Does anyone have any experience with multiple long-term visas and not really leaving the country much for a long period of time? I'm concerned I will leave my stuff at my house here and not be allowed back in.
TIA for any insights/help!
