Visa Questions

Hello all,

My apologies in advance if this has been covered but I didn't see anything on a quick search.

Anywho, I am having a great time here in Phuket...I've got a shop and apartment leased for 1 year...living with my Thai girlfriend but my third 1 month visa will expire in early January. I really would like to be able to do a visa run but I'm worried that they will refuse me entry after I try to return from Ranong. I don't want to end up stuck in Burma because they won't let me back into Thailand.

Does anyone here have experience with trying to get back into Thailand after using up the 90 day limit? Should I not try? Should I just go back to where I came from(Canada) and wait 3 months before returning to Thailand? Do I pay a "fine" to the guy at the border? Is it better to do the Ranong run than to do the return flight from Singapore when I've exceeded the 3 month stay? So many questions...

I'm hoping there is someone here who has experience stretching the visa rules a bit; hell there must be with all these expats here. Thanks in advance for your help.

P.S. It really sucks having to wait a month do get an internet connection here in Phuket. It'll be great to be reading the threads here every day when I get my ADSL hooked up.
