Just wanted to update this. I just came back to Thailand last night after getting a 60 day tourist visa back in UK, and it was very smooth going through border control. No questions asked. Just in case this helps anyone else.
thank you. The plan is to apply for another education visa once back in Thailand but my school said I should apply first for a tourist visa to allow time to apply etc. they told me to explain that to immigration, and that I want to explore a few different schools. Do you think that will be accepted as an explanation?
My passport also needs to be renewed while I’m home so I’ll also be on a new passport, but assuming they’re connect it to my old one
