No problem to re-apply for a visa

The 90 days only apply to stays in thailand using the '30 days stamps' not to stays with a visa

Agree with him ^^^

Remember also that doing a border run just before the 'must enter by' date on your visa will net you a full 90 day stay so you may not need to go to the UK before august

Agree with all that have been said so far.

Just wanted to add, that since "visiting friends" officially isn't a valid reason for getting a non-immigrant o visa, you might wan't to check with the consulate back home whether they are still willing to issue you a new visa. After october they might have tightened their policy somewhat, and if so you might wan't to reconsider your options.

If it's a multi entry visa, yes. A single entry visa is valid only for one single entry.

desperately want to get a non-imm o for 'visiting friends' but embassy and consulate in canada said no way.

what's the rationale for giving them out in some countries and others not?
