TLDR : Answer Summary
The discussion revolves around obtaining a re-entry visa stamp in Thailand. It is recommended to do this at Suvarnabhumi Airport for convenience and speed, allowing approximately 30 minutes before your flight to complete the process. A single re-entry stamp costs 1200 THB, and you typically only need to present your passport and cash, without the need for photos or additional paperwork.

Just to make sure I understand correctly: You just need to bring your passport and 1200THB in cash for a single re-entry, nothing else? So far I always thought you need to bring all kinds of copies and a pp photo, that's why I never did it.

that's it at Suvarnabhumi and Don Mueang

And also at any other international Thai airport like Chiang Mai?

I'd say it'll be faster at Suvarnabhumi, you should allow about 30 minutes total (in case you're not the only one getting a re-entry at that time)

If you pay 1200 baht you get a single re-entry without needing a photo, copies or the form (the 200 is a 'service fee').

They sell the re-entry in Departure #2 so if you are flying out in Departure #3 tell them when you stamp out you want a re-entry and they'll show you the way to walk over to the other area to get the re-entry permit

bring the small photos and don’t have to pay the 200 fee.

I believe it is bring the photo, the filled out form AND the appropriate copies and you don't have to pay the fee otherwise you pay the fee
