TLDR : Answer Summary
To maintain your three-month visa granted by a temple while traveling abroad, you should purchase a re-entry permit before leaving Thailand. This permit allows you to re-enter the country using your existing visa as long as you return before the visa expires.

Purchase a re-entry permit before you leave Thailand, and as long as you're back before your current stamp expires, you'll be able to re-enter on that stamp.

 As I understand it, go to the airport. Pay the fee and I’m done, right?
