And on my latest visa extension I got this stamps on y passport does it means I do not need to do a re-entry before leaving Thailand and I can come back without any issues ?
Answer summary
As a holder of a Non-ED Plus visa in Thailand, you do not need a re-entry permit when leaving the country. This visa, introduced recently, allows international students to enter and exit Thailand freely without the need for additional permits, especially useful after graduation when seeking employment or traveling.

Its changed this year—no re-entry stamp required—daughter studying in bangkok—got the same
This has been a point of contention because the ED Plus extension is typically given to people AFTER they've graduated from a degree program to allow them a year in country to look for work.
I would ask at passport control when you stamp out IF you need a re-entry permit or not,
The Thailand Non-ED Plus visa, introduced on July 15, 2024, is for international students studying at universities or institutions in Thailand at the bachelor's degree level or above, allowing them to enter and exit Thailand without needing a re-entry permit and extends their stay for one year after graduation to seek employment or travel.
Bottom line...
NO re-entry permit is needed.
NO Re-entry Permit Required:
Unlike regular Non-ED visas, students with an ED Plus visa can freely leave and re-enter Thailand without needing a re-entry permit.
