Will I face issues doing a border run from Chiang Mai to Mae Sai with my visa history?

Border Run Mae Sai Thailand Visa Extension Visa History Swedish Passport Immigration Rules Thailand

ORIGINAL POSTER

Hello! I plan on doing a border run from Chiang Mai to Mae Sai. I have a Swedish passport. My history of visas in Thailand:

SETV + 30 days extension 

30 days visa extemption + 30 days extension.

Before this, my last visit to Thailand was in 2012.

Do you think I will have any issues going to the same border (Mae sai) this time, as I did last time for my border run? Would it be better to go to another border? I am aware that this will be my last entry by land border this year. 

Thank you in advance!

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is planning a border run from Chiang Mai to Mae Sai with a Swedish passport and has a history of two types of visas in Thailand, including a SETV with a 30-day extension and a 30-day visa exemption with an extension. They seek advice on whether there will be issues returning through the same border considering their visa history and if it might be better to use a different border.
