First up think you will be fine.

What is you prior history with stay in Thailand.

Surprised they told you that on Thai side.

If all else fails you could consider flight to Bangkok and if history in Thailand extensive a "safe entry" airport service works a treat.

This is a recommended service:

But they let you in again at the border 2 days later, no problem?
