ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
There is no specific time requirement for how long you must be outside Thailand during a border run; you can technically leave and return immediately, or stay away for longer periods. Many people take short trips to neighboring countries every 90 days to reset their visa status.
