ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
The immigration desk at Phuket airport is theoretically open 24 hours, but it may not always be manned. Travelers needing a re-entry permit should explain their situation upon passing through immigration. It is essential to obtain the re-entry permit before leaving Thailand, as it cannot be acquired on the way back into the country. If your friend's O-A visa was recently renewed and he has a new visa sticker, he may not need the re-entry permit. However, if it was merely an extension of stay, then he will need one.
