has about all the information they could need to make an educated decision on where to get the tourist visa and how to enter the country.

Good Luck, (y)

With your admitted history of living in Thailand several years, I suggest you ask

for advice before you attempt entry with a new Tourist visa.

Get a tourist visa and enter the country by a LAND border. Your previous entry history is what causes you to have risk when flying in.

you'd get right thru a land border with a valid tourist visa without any questions

Yes you stated you've been LIVING in Thailand on tourist visa and ED visa this is what they are trying to stop so search out another visa that will serve you best if your under 50 Elite is your best option I believe it's 500,000 baht for 5 years

No there is not. History is history and can't be undone with time out of the country as it is all computerised now at the airport. You will need to look at other options. Get a job with WP, business visa or Elite visa or get married (if that is an option). Good luck.

Use the land border to cross if you got a tourist visa. Higher chance that you will get through.

1. There is no set amount of time before you can apply for another tourist visa.

2. If you want another tourist visa, you can get a new passport. The database the embassies and consulate use do not keep old passport information.

3. If you get a visa using a new passport, the immigration office keeps track of people using biometrics, so it'll be up to them to decide if you can enter or not.
