TLDR : Answer Summary
For travelers with a Non Immigrant O visa who have obtained a re-entry permit, there is no specific action required while in the UK before returning to Thailand. It is vital to ensure that your passport is kept safe and accessible. Additionally, make sure to pay attention to the extension stamp's validity date to avoid any complications upon re-entering Thailand. It is advisable to present your re-entry permit clearly when you arrive back to help facilitate the process.

Nothing you have to do legally but to make sure they know (mistakes do occasionally happen), I always hand my passport over with the re-entry stamp page open and tell the IO re-entry stamp so they know to look properly. Might not be a problem if your re-entry stamp is on a recent page - mine isn't, but it doesn't hurt to tell them that you have one.

No need to do anything special about that. Just keep your passport, and don't miss the current "extension of stay permitted up to" date on your extension stamp because the re-entry permit wouldn't add any day extra longer than your current date.

By the way, you have an "extension of your stay", not a visa anymore I guess. Read your stamp.
