you wouldn’t get hassled b/c you are no abusing Tourist Exemtion stamps. If you haven’t purchased flight tickets a land border bounce is best (10 hours door to door). If flying one day in Laos.
Don’t get the Tourist visa from the Thai Embassy, you don’t need it. Because you’ve been working you wont have a problem entering now on the Visa Exemption- either fly in/out or do a border bounce as suggested above.
