Would it look bad to immigration to go back home to America for a month and come back ? I’m on MET 6 month multiple entry visa .

It was granted for a cooking class. I have some affairs to take care of back home but don’t want to be denied entry when I come back.
Answer summary
Traveling back to the U.S. for a month while on a MET 6-month multiple entry visa should not pose any issues as long as you return before the visa expires. Since it's a multiple entry visa, you are permitted to leave and re-enter Thailand freely within the visa's validity period.

As long as you come back before the visa expires, there will not be a problem. It is multi-entry, so you can come and go as you please.

You have a multiple entry visa. You want to make multiple entries. You’ll be fine.
