TLDR : Answer Summary

The discussion emphasizes the ease of obtaining a re-entry permit at Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi Airport compared to traditional immigration centers, with one individual's positive experience highlighted. Commenters provide insights on timing, costs (1,000 THB for the permit, 200 THB for assistance), and alternatives, like securing longer-term permits during visa renewals, which may save time.

Days queuing? I got a multiple entry permit after a yearly extension at Chaengwattana. Took less than an hour. Much better than at the airport. Why give yourself extra things to do when the clock is already ticking?

Be sure to allow extra time when you are getting the re-entry permit at the BKK Suvarnabhumi Airport.

I did this last month at BKK Suvarnabhumi Airport at midnight, and there were 5 people ahead of me waiting for the re-entry permit to get processed and the stamp in the passport.

Fee of 1,000 Thai baht for the stamp and 200 Thai baht for staff to fill out the application and take your photo.
