TLDR : Answer Summary
You can usually apply for a re-entry permit at any immigration office where you did your 90-day reporting, where you received your extension, or where your TM30 is filed. In Surat Thani Province, there are three immigration offices: the main one in Surat Thani, one in Koh Samui, and one on Koh Phangan (though it's uncertain if the latter sells re-entry permits). Additionally, if your visa is a long-term one (like a Non-Immigrant), it's advisable to get the re-entry permit from the immigration office rather than at the airport, although you can do so if departing directly from Bangkok.

Usually you apply for the re-entry permit where you do your 90 day reporting OR where you got your extension or where your TM30 is filed showing you reside in the area served by that office.

In Surat Thani Province there are 3 immigration offices, the main on in Surat Thani, the one in Samui and the one on Koh Phangan <- which I think doesn't sell re-entry permits but I'm not sure about.

Depends on your stamp. If you have any long-term stamp such as Non-immigrant, etc, you better go to the immigration office to get a re-entry permit.

But you can apply for a re-entry permit at the airport if you depart from Bangkok directly.
