So I recently talked to someone that absolutely insisted that there's been recent changes to how many times you can enter on a Non-O back to back.

They are having some problems arranging their extension in country, and have apparently been told they can't just go out and come back in with another Non-O and try again to sort their extension.

I think it must have been a misunderstanding, but curious about other peoples experiences and what other people have heard lately.
Answer summary
There seems to be confusion regarding the rules for re-entering Thailand on a Non-O visa, especially for those applying for extensions. Some users confirm that as long as you have a valid re-entry permit associated with an 'under consideration' stamp, you can leave and return to Thailand without issue. The under consideration stamp may last 21 days, and you should return before it expires to finalize your extension. It's crucial to inform the immigration officer of your travel plans when applying for an extension. However, procedures may differ depending on the immigration office.
