TLDR : Answer Summary
Yes, you can pay for a reentry permit at Bangkok Airport, either at Suvarnabhumi or Don Mueang. The offices are open 24/7 and you can pay either 1000 baht for a single permit (with documents) or 1200 baht (without documents). Make sure to go to International Departures 2 after security, before Immigration.

In BKK use International Departures 2 and it is after security but down the escalator before Immigration where you stamp out

You can get a re-entry permit (not a visa ๐Ÿ™‚ ) at either Suvarnabhumi or Don Mueang before you fly out. They are open

To get re-entry permits for the "regular price" (1000baht single/3800baht multiple) You need copies of the data page of your passport, your current visa/extension, your most recent entry stamp and a passport sized photo

OR

You can pay 200baht more and just give them your passport (1200baht single/3800 baht multiple)

Tell the officer when you go to stamp out you want to buy a re-entry permit

I used the service last month, and it was all ok. Unfortunately immigration have a sign saying "reentry visa" when they really mean reentry permit. The TM8 info on the counter clarified this.
