Pretty much my train of thought, as well. Thanks for the input, guys.

That's generally my thinking, why take the chance. No real reason other than I'm under the weather and done love the idea of making the trip with a splitting headache. Thanks for the reassurance, Tod. Succinct as always.

Ha,I was just starting to feel a bit relieved and then

@Tony *******

chimes in with this.

The last thing that just kinda won't leave the back of my mind, maybe kind of silly...I know about the rules and punishments for overstay, and the difference between, 'surrendering myself', and getting, 'caught'...If I go into Chaengwattana to pay the fine and get the 7 day stamp, that's surrendering myself, right? As in, no one's gonna come out and slap the cuffs on me if I go in there and declare I have overstay, right?

@Tod ********

This sounds like the way I'm gonna go. I can get the letter from the school tomorrow and be at Chaengwattana in the afternoon...Regarding the 7 day stamp, is that something that they could/would deny me for any reason?

@Tod ********

This whole situation is making me nervous..Do you ever hear stories of people getting denied visa exemption entries for a reasons other than having 2 in a calendar year already?

Does an extension denied stamp look bad in the passport as far as they are concerned if I'm then trying to get get a 30 day visa exemption?

I have contacted the visa run company and they said pretty clearly I would need to get the extension of stay cancelled before I go out.

They didn't give one. When I found out I was going to need one and contacted them (Friday) they said it wouldn't be ready until midweek this week.
