ED visa Thailand visa rules visa application experiences border run Mae Sai Thai language schools Chiang Mai visa rejections expat advice

ORIGINAL POSTER

Does anybody here have any *RECENT* experience with getting a 3rd consecutive ED visa? I've studied at a language school for 2 years already, and most likely can't get a 3rd visa from them to keep learning Thai. I was thinking to study at the Hand to Hand Combat school in Chiang Mai, but I am a bit worried with news about people being rejected when applying for visas.

Also, has anyone recently done a border run to Mae Sai for a 30-day stamp? Is it still possible to do? 

Many thanks.
