ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
The general consensus in the comments is that there is no requirement to take a break from Thailand after two consecutive border runs. You can leave and return immediately. The immigration rules permit stays of up to 360 days per entry with one extension; however, there is no enforced waiting period between border runs.
