Hello. I would appreciate an advice.

My history of stay in Thailand:

1. November 2018 - January 2019 - Tourist visa

2. February 2019 - April 2019 - second Tourist visa

Plan to stay 5-6 month since November 2019.

Will arrive from my home country (Russia).

What is the best (less risky) option to do it.

My draft plan: Exemption visa on arrival (BKK) for 1 month + Tourist visa in Malaysia (in December 2019) for 3 month + Border run for 1 month.

No one can give you the assurance you seek. You'll either get in or you won't.

We can give advice on this page but we can not take away your worries or tell you that you will get a visa.

Visa applications and entry into a country are decided on a case to case situation. Your dear friend witht the same age, colours of his eyes, same entry and exit dates can get denied a visa and you can get the visa. There are no experienced people who can tell you or take away your worries.

There is a need to provide a bank account info with certain amount of money each month. Do not have that now. I should think about it 6 month ago.

less risky is the Non Immigrant B visa if you need to work during this visit. Other option is the Multiple Entry Tourist Visa, valid for 6 months and you can get 9 months of stay out of it in sections of 60 days and last section of 90 days.
