I left the country for weeks. My 90 day is still good through September. Do I need to check back in with local immigration upon returning? Coming in on same visa with re-entry permit.

TLDR : Answer Summary
When returning to Thailand on the same visa with a re-entry permit, your 90-day reporting period resets to 89 days from your return date. You may need to file a TM30 notification upon your return, but requirements vary by local office, so it's best to check with your local immigration office.

As Tod said and keep current with the rule. My Province of Chumphon never required the TM30 the first 3 years or so I was here. Then bang, without notice they started requiring it. You just never know what’s current or not.

Which 90 days? Your 90 days Non O visa? Just saying 90 days is not clear. Could be many things.

I believe you are mixing up two separate things

For a 90 day report, when you leave the country before it's due, the 90 days starts counting down again when you return and your NEXT 90 day report is due 89 days from the date you stamp back into the country. The day you stamp in is day one..

And as far as you 'checking back in', that's a TM30 <- notification of foreigner in residence form. SOME offices say if you're coming back to your primary address you don't need to re-file, BUT with that being said, SOME offices say you do. So check with your office once you're back and see if you have to file a new TM30
