TLDR : Answer Summary
It's increasingly common not to receive an exit stamp when leaving Thailand, particularly if you use electronic gates at the airport. Many travelers have reported that their details of exit are recorded electronically, and therefore, physical stamps are not issued. This automation is part of a shift toward a more digital, paperless immigration process. However, keeping boarding passes or writing down departure dates can be helpful for personal records.

I wrote the date I departed just below my entry stamp, so in the future I will know when I left Thailand.

In September when I left Suvarnabhumi it was the same for me through electronic gate. I kept my boarding pass just in case.

I also have a multi-entry tourist visa

180 days, But when I returned to Thailand they didn't put the stamp indicating the day I have to leave, is it normal?

Check again, you should have a 60 day entry "TR60" stamp (I hope you didn't expect a 180 day stamp).
Nate ******
We didn’t get one either.

How do they know how many months you were in the country without stamps?

so, child, if they stop and question you based on your book, they would need a computer to reconcile the electronic files with the stamps. Last time (just a few weeks ago). They had no computer. Don't be condescending.

Our passports were stamped on entry to Thailand (Phuket) and again on exit today.

There were no e-gates though.

isn't that a nice, neat looking stamp on page. On mine I think they try to use a whole page every time for just 1 stamp 🤣

I'm not sure where it's at. But it's only for exit and not for entry yet.
