Will my border run history affect my Non-O visa application in Vientiane?

Hey everyone, I hope I can get some feedback on my current situation.

I hold a US passport and I’m currently in Thailand on a Tourist Visa obtained in Yangon about 1 month ago, with appx. 1 month left to go.

Previously, I have been in and out of Thailand on a combination of Visa Exemption Stamps, Extensions, and border runs (Mae Sai), over the past year and a half... I had a 4 month stint in the US from this past February-June in-between, but those stamps blend in with the other 4-5 pages of the in and outs... I know this isn’t ideal, and fortunately I won’t have to do this any longer.

I currently have an invitation letter from my new job and have to go get a Non-O. My question is this -

Given that I have an invitation letter and all legal docs to get my Non-O, is there a chance that I will still have a problem getting the Non-O if I go to Vientiane given my history of many exemption/border stamps?

Any feedback or advice is much appreciated!

Thanks so much! 🙏😊
Summary so far
A US passport holder currently on a Tourist Visa in Thailand seeks advice on applying for a Non-O visa in Vientiane. They have a history of multiple border runs and visa stamps and wonder if this history will hinder their Non-O visa application despite having a job invitation letter.
