What does the stamp on my passport mean and how does it relate to my extension of stay in Thailand?

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user inquired about an unfamiliar stamp on their passport and TM 6 form, which was recently noticed following entry into Phuket. Community members clarified that the stamp indicates the user's extension of stay, confirming it aligns with their annual extension and multiple re-entry permit.

possibly but she didn't post an image of the re-entry permit.

She just the entry stamp that was given because she USED a re-entry permit to get stamped in ;)

It doesn't matter whether you have a single or a multiple re-entry permit you still only get the Non-RE stamp or writing on your entry stamp

that entry stamp has nothing to do with the re-entry permit being valid or not, ;) It WAS valid when they entered the country and because it was only a single re-entry it was marked used :P and that's why they got the Non-RE stamp

I checked my entry stamps and they're all Non-RE although they're just sucky hand written ones not stamped nicely like

's was ;)

It means they ENTERED on a re-entry permit with an extension

Of course the re-entry permit would be marked void

I think he better checks if his re-entry stamp shows any signs of having gotten used or marked void . . .so he is aware that he might need a new re-entry permit for a next trip abroad and back

and the single re-entry is marked used & void . . . so why would Non- RE mean "re-entry still valid" ??

here's one I found that shows some business extensions (on the left) a used re-entry permit AND an entry stamp from Bangkok (Don Mueang) showing the stamp marked Non-RE

well if he entered using the re-entry permit, it would be void by now, and they would not stamp "Re" for an used re-entry permit. Could it not be an entry stamp showing he is entering on a Non-Imm based on RE-tirement, the extension being stamped separately anyways, and any re-entry permits (single or multiple) stamped separately as well . . . as is the case with all extensions of stay?

it is an ENTRY stamp from the Phuket Airport not an extension stamp from the immigration office :O It means that the person entered on a Non-Immigrant Type visa extension WITH a re-entry permit

it may mean Non-Imm RE-tirement. The Multi or Single entries are normally on a separate stamp. My guess, he has an extension of stay based on retirement because it is exactly the one year one gets

You entered Thailand on 30 Jul 2019 and are allowed to stay until 02 Aug 2020. If 02 Aug 2020 is the date of your Extension of Stay is permitted up to 02 Aug 2020 is should be correct, but I guess you have a different day in that Extension.
