What happens to my 90-day Non-O visa if I leave Thailand and return using a re-entry permit before the 90 days are over?

Ho all. On a 90 day, Non-O, single entry obtained in the UK.

If i get a re-entry permit and leave and re-enter before the 90 days is up, will I get an additional 90 days or only up until when the original 90 days was due to end? In/out via plane. Thanks in advance for any info.

TLDR : Answer Summary
The consensus is that if you have a Non-O Visa with a single entry and you exit Thailand using a re-entry permit, you will not receive an additional 90 days upon re-entry. Instead, your stay will only last until the original 90-day period you were granted upon your initial entry. Therefore, you cannot extend your stay beyond the initial duration even when using a re-entry permit.

Single entry, you can't extend the date on your entry stamp regardless of using a re-entry permit.

One more question, is there no way to upgrade the visa to a 1 year? Used to be able to get a 1 year multiple entry in UK but no longer an option when applying.

yes you can extend if you meet the requirements for the extension, you will need to get yourself a bank account as you arrive and then deposit 800k baht in it for at least 2 months before applying for the extension, also a phone number and resident certificate from immigration (using TM30 from your accommodation). Then off you go!!

You can apply for a year extension at immigration.

You will only keep the original date you stamped in on. It's doesn't reset the 90 days each time you re-enter

Only the remainder of the 90 days.
