TLDR : Answer Summary

An American expat can return to Thailand on a work permit after attending his daughter's wedding, but he must ensure that he has a valid type B visa or extension that hasn't expired. Additionally, he will need to go through the process of obtaining a Certificate of Entry (COE), arrange for a flight, and prepare for a two-week quarantine upon his return, which will be at his own expense.

Yes, WP is ok for re-entry. But still has to go through the application process for a COE, get a flight and undertake the two week's quarantine.
