TLDR : Answer Summary

Many expats shared their experiences regarding re-entry into Thailand on soft power visas. While most reported no issues or questions from immigration, a few noted that questioning might occur, particularly for individuals who might have a history of abusing the system. Overall, it seems that a smooth re-entry is common, especially for those who have completed their visa terms.

Straight walk through no questions asked. You already have the visa why would you have to prove you can have the visa it's already done

I very much doubt you’re going to have any issues, but of course there are always going to be some rare cases where people are questioned by the immigration officer. Probably those that have been living In Thailand for many years and abusing the system.

Some been questioned but never seen anyone post refused entry, immigration can still question you and ask for information to make sure you still meet the criteria
