Thanks. I understand how it looks. I won't be surprised if I face an issue either way I go. I'm hoping the fact that I've truly been trying to find something to get an ED visa for in Phitsanulok and have been unable to, will at least show I'm trying to do things the right way. I have been to immigration here so many times that they know me now. I was told if it was up to them, there would be no issues here. Sadly, this immigration office isn't the one to help me get back in. My gf is a government employee who can vouch for my making every effort to do this right. I have resigned myself to the fact I will likely have to go to Bangkok for a TEFL course and then try to find work teaching in Phitsanulok. I have some promising leads going this route. This course is only 4 weeks so no need for an ED visa. If I take this course and get a job offer, my understanding is I would have to leave again anyway for the work visa. This would truly be my last visa free entry. I'm hoping that if I do get questioned all of this will mean something. Heck, I even have the LineID of the IO i deal with, lol. Fingers crossed and I absolutely will post again with the results.
Thanks guys!
