What are the recent experiences and challenges with obtaining a 3rd consecutive ED visa in Thailand?

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.
