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!
