What is the difference between getting a re-entry stamp at the immigration office vs. getting it at the airport?

Answer summary
The main differences between getting a re-entry stamp at the immigration office versus at the airport are the hours of operation and potential fees. The immigration office is open only during business hours, while airport counters are available 24/7. At Suvarnabhumi Airport, there's a 200 baht service fee at a special counter unless you come prepared with forms and copies. Other airports may not have this fee, and you can also obtain a multiple entry permit at the airport without issues.

You can do a re entry permit at the airport 24 hrs a day and at the immigration office only during business hours. That is pretty much the only difference ;)

Potentially missing your flight if they're very busy.

The longest I've waited at BKK is 10 minutes 🤷♂️
I've gotten 5 in the last 12 months (you're right I should get a multiple).

seeing as you are supposed to check in at least 2 hours before you board an international flight (and you can't get an re-entry permit if you're flying domestic) I highly doubt someone's gonna miss their flight because they need a re-entry permit

ONLY Suvarnabhumi has the 200baht service fee and that's ONLY at that special counter (you can walk past them and pay the regular price if you have the form, the copies, the photo etc).

OPHow about Phuket airport?

A re-entry permit is a re-entry permit no matter if you get it at an international airport before you fly out or at the immigration office.
It will be valid for the duration of your current stamp (meaning it doesn't add any time to your existing stamp).
I am not sure the Phuket Airport has a re-entry counter that is
