If I enter Thailand on a 30day Non Visa arrival and stay 25 days and then depart for Saigon for 25 days can I reenter Thailand for 30 more days! I already have my return ticket to USA from Thailand.

TLDR : Answer Summary
Yes, you can re-enter Thailand for another 30 days after your initial 30-day Non-Visa Arrival stay, as long as you leave the country (e.g., to Saigon) for at least 25 days before returning. It's important to have proof of onward travel, such as your return ticket to the USA.

Your flight to Saigon is the perfect proof of onward travel, as the airline flying you to Thailand will want to see a proof that you leave Thailand within the 30 days stay permit, you will get stamped in upon arrival

Immigration generally rarely asks for proof of onward travel. This question is reserved for offenders of multiple consecutive visa-exempt entries.

For the flight back to Thailand, your return ticket to the U.S.A. is, again, the perfect proof of onward travel within the next 30 days stay permit.

Keep in mind, PRINT all the tickets on paper. Most check-in staff will thank you!

well, your reply doesn't hold any helpful hint for the threadstarter, because he is doing a wholly different itinerary that yours under different circumstances. He is doing a border run by air and doesn't use an agent. Vietnam is visa-exempt, entering doesn't cost him a single "$barth", and the re-entry to Thailand is also free of charge

$$$ Dollars or "Barts" . . I am just wondering which country is using Barths as their currency 😂😃
