Sounds like you aren't doing a visa run at all, a visa run entails going to an embassy (actually applying online) in the nearby country and getting a visa. Sounds like you're doing a border bounce. What visa or stamp are you on now and what visa or stamp you intend to get upon your return? How long have you been in Thailand already what's your recent history over the last year?
