The discussion revolves around the Non-O visa holders planning to enter Thailand and subsequently exit shortly after. The consensus is that you cannot obtain a re-entry permit upon arrival; instead, it must be purchased before leaving Thailand, typically at an immigration office or airport. There are also points raised about the implications of having a single-entry visa and possible alternatives for entry.
