Can I apply for a tourist visa, travel to a neighboring country, and return for a few weeks in Thailand?

The user inquires about applying for a 60-day tourist visa followed by a 30-day extension in Thailand, and whether it is possible to travel to a neighboring country for a few days and then return to Thailand for an additional two weeks. Based on comments, it is stated that if the user has not been to Thailand in over a year, their travel plan is feasible. The community suggests that the user can utilize a tourist visa and potentially a visa-exempt entry thereafter, as well as ensure they meet any necessary cash or travel documentation requirements.
