Yes. No problem. Technically I did the border run at like 5 months due to chiang mai burning season. No questions asked. Workcation. Not so worried either, I can always open my laptop to prove my situation. I don’t think you have to worry unless you’re saying soft power and not actually doing what you said you would.

... Why do you like Thailand so much ?

... How long do you want to stay in Thailand this time ?

... Which soft power activity did you choose ?

... Do you enjoy Muay Thai and how often do you do Muay Thai per week ?

... where is the Muay Thai gym ?

... How far is the Muay Thai gym from your home ?

... How did you find the Muay Thai gym ?

They typically ask if you were the one who posted anonymously in the DTV group and why you were so concerned.
