ORIGINAL POSTER

Hey :) I ’m doing a visa run to Kuala Lumpur by plane. Can you please advise if I need to be out of Thailand for min of 24 hours before Reentering? 

I have a British passport and hoping to get a 30 days visa exemption at the airport.

Thank you in advance

TLDR : Answer Summary

You do not need to be out of Thailand for a minimum of 24 hours before re-entering. As a British passport holder, you can return on the same day or even board the next flight back.

British passport is enough information. There is no time limit. You can actually board the next plane back into Thailand.
