It’s more in case there are restrictions about French passport because of how things are going in Europe...

If the passport switch is to hide your stay inside Thailand, then do not worry about it. The Immigration Database will link the passports based on your fingerprints, name, dob, gender, facial recognition.The complete history will be on screen not matter which passport you use.

Ok, then I guess I’ll need to re-enter using my French passport... was worried about it because of how things are going now in France...

then you NEED to fly.

Wrong choice of planning, as a passport change can only be done using a plane. It can not be done at land borders.

Check the cheapest air ticket from whatever airport you want to fly out. You cannot switch your passports at land border crossing, with or without visa.

You go to the airport, use the passport with the entry stamp to exit.

Change passports during the flight

Use the passport to enter the country of destination, apply for the visa and fly back to Thailand to use the passport and visa to enter Thailand.
