TLDR : Answer Summary

When leaving Thailand on a Non-O visa, you must apply for a re-entry permit ahead of your flight. This can be done at the immigration office or at the airport, taking about 15-20 minutes at the airport. The common requirements include submitting the TM 8 form, providing a photo, and paying a fee of 1,000 Thai baht. It is not explicitly stated whether a return ticket or additional documents are needed, but it is advisable to check with immigration for any further requirements.

get a re-entry permit at the immigration office where you got your visa/extension OR you get it at the airport before you fly out. Allow 15-20 minutes max to get it at the airport depending on how many other people are needing one at the same time
