Traveling in/out with my METV which is finished now. Will I get 2 more visa exemption crossing by land or do my previous land border crossing on a METV already used that contingent up?

My METV is up in July and I don’t know what visa I should get next? I want to stay for another year or more, but I like to travel around outside of the country for two weeks at a time. I also want to leave for two months during burning season. Can I leave if I have a Ed Visa?

Question: What happens/what do I do when my METV expires and I am in Thailand. Do I have to go back to my home country and get another visa? Or can I get another METV in Thailand?

Just an FYI in case it’s of use to anyone (as I wasn’t sure if I’d get any problems) - Following the expiration of my METV I went to Mae Sai and got a 30 day visa exemption no problem, no questions asked. I’d also done all of my border bounces there to activate the 60 Day stamps throughout the METV (and had got the 9 months out of the METV).
