Hey guys, I am currently on a non-immigrant B visa for 3 months before getting my work visa sorted and planning some trips outside of Thailand. I know that if get out of Thailand without a re-entry permit...I'll have to start my non-immigrant B visa process all over again (which I really want to avoid). I want to travel several times outside of Thailand during these 3 months. What is the easiest way to do a re-entry? I know that you can do it at the airport...but can you do that several times? Is the visa counter before or after the immigration? Thanks a lot for your help!

TLDR : Answer Summary
The easiest way to obtain a re-entry permit while on a non-immigrant B visa in Thailand is to purchase either a Single or Multiple Re-Entry Permit. The Single Re-Entry Permit costs around 1,000 THB and the Multiple Re-Entry Permit costs approximately 3,800 THB. These can be acquired either at the local immigration office or at the airport before going through the immigration checkpoint. It's advised to allow extra time for this process, especially when obtaining permits at the airport.

The 1 year Non Immigrant B visa is a multiple entry visa, no need for re-entry permits.

You have the Non Immigrant B visa but getting your work VISA sorted? You can buy the Single Re-entry permit for 1.000 Thb or the Multiple Re-Entry Permit for 3.800 Thb, both are valid during your Admitted to Stay period and will give you on each re-entry the same date as you have now in your passport. You can buy these re-entry permits at Immigration Office or at the office at the airport before Immigration check point before your flight out. Plan some extra time for this.

if you do it at suvarnabhumi you need only your passport (they charge a 200baht service fee) and you don't need the form or a photo.

You can get a single or a multiple re-entry permit.

nope, not unless your business is a BOI or IEAT business. You can ONLY use the main office out at Chaengwattana or get one at the airport before you fly out

! I am currently starting a rep office here and on a 3 month non-immigrant B visa. Now I need to get my work permit sorted which will allow me to get a 1 year non-immigrant B visa. For the immigration office I heard there is one that's in the northern part of bangkok but I want to avoid going there as its quite far away. Can I go to the "One Stop Center for Visa and Work permits" in Sam Yan instead?
