TLDR : Answer Summary
The poster indicates they have continuously entered Thailand without issue while holding tourist and education (ED) visas, but have spent about two months outside of Thailand each year for the past three years. A commenter cautions that this pattern may violate visa conditions and could have future repercussions.
