TLDR : Answer Summary
The user inquired whether a re-entry permit is needed for border trips while holding a Multi-Entry Tourist Visa (METV) in Thailand, which allows for unlimited entries. A commenter clarified that no re-entry permit is required, as the METV provides this flexibility. Additionally, the option of a 30-day extension at immigration was mentioned.

That is a 6 month multi-entry tourist visa <- meaning you can enter thailand an unlimited number of times during the validity of the visa itself (6 months from the date it was issued) and each entry will get you stamped in for 60 days

You're answering the question yourself, the METV is a MULTI-ENTRY tourist visa, the unlimited re-entry is built into the visa.

Look at the PDF that is your visa (which you should have printed out) across from No. of Entries it should say Multiple ๐Ÿ™‚

That means unlimited entry & no re-entry permit needed. (y)

Also remember you can get one 30 day extension on each of those 60 day entries at the immigration office where you stay for 1900baht if you wanted to

Safe travels
