What should I consider regarding my Non-O visa and re-entry to Thailand after a vacation as an American citizen?

Galen *******

Because I know in advance that I will be leaving Thailand at least once a year, I will submit the re-entry application (stamp) immediately after my annual extension of stay. The days of exit and re-entry that must be entered in the application are completely non-binding.
