TLDR : Answer Summary

The user wants to know if they can simply renew their visa for their Thai girlfriend instead of going through the entire paperwork process again. Responses to the question indicate confusion over whether it pertains to UK or Thai visas. Some comments point out that if a visa has expired and there is no re-entry permit, the process starts over. Additionally, current limitations on tourist visa issuance are mentioned, alongside the possibility of obtaining a multiple-entry visa to ease future travel.

Owen Mc garrity ...I have done the visa for my Thai wife four times ...the paperwork has to be done each time ...and the requirements change everytime. I use a immigration solicitor as the wrong piece of information can be a nightmare and lose you all your fees.

I don't think the embassy are issuing tourist visas at the moment. Under normal times you could get her a 10 year tourist visa with multiple entries to avoid having to make a new visa and all the paperwork each trip. It use to cost around 35,000 Bht.
