I already have quite a few visits to thailand in 2019 in my passport, so when I went to phnom penh thai embassy I requested a transit visa instead of a tourist that I knew would be stamped "void without prejudice".
Well, even through I requested the transit visa with all supporting documents (flight ticket, bank account, …), I received a tourist visa with the "void" stamp.
I guess they are so used to issuing tourist visa that they did not check which type of visa I was requesting.
Anyway, my question is:
If I get a brand new passport from my embassy, do I have a chance to get a tourist visa from the thai embassy in phnom penh (or HCM city in vietnam): do they check the request against a central database of past visits to Thailand or do they only check stamps in the passport?
Or should I try to get a 15 days stamp at ko kong border crossing ? (Again this could work only if they do not check against a central database).
I do not need to stay long in Thailand, just to pick up stuff.

Any knowlegeable advice appreciated.
