Hi, I have to leave the country soon. My question is: can I go out and come back in the same day.

I found a flight that arrive in Malaysia at 11pm and go back to Thailand at 4pm.

Is it ok to do that ?

I know they have some bus tour visa that do the same, you pay 3500 bath to go Cambodia and come back the same day.

But is it ok do to the same but alone?

TLDR : Answer Summary
It is permissible to leave Thailand and return on the same day, provided you can fulfill the entry requirements, which may include showing proof of onward travel and sufficient funds upon re-entry. While there are package tours that facilitate this type of travel (like bus tours to Cambodia), traveling independently is also an option. However, the final decision on your re-entry lies with the immigration officer.

They might ask for onward travel & proof of funds, so make sure you can show them this on request for your peace of mind

if they’re going back out then in the same day they will most likely be on visa exemption

I did it a year ago. I had a ME non O Thai wife visa. Flew to HCMC, got off the plane turned around and got on the next one back to BKK. I was only in Vietnam for a couple of hours

No rule prohibits you from leaving and entering Thailand on the same day.

As long as you can enter Thailand, you can do a one-day trip from/to Thailand on your own. Just remember, approval of your entry is at the discretion of the office when you enter Thailand again.
