TLDR : Answer Summary

When holding a multiple entry Non-O visa, you cannot walk across and immediately return through every border. Specifically, the Aranyaprathet Poi Pet border enforces a rule that requires travelers to fly back into Thailand instead of allowing a simple border bounce. Other borders may allow re-entry, but restrictions vary.

AFAIK; the ONLY border that makes people fly back into the country when bouncing on a year-long, multi-entry Non-O visa is the Aranyaprathet Poi Pet border. They were warning people they couldn't bounce at that border on that visa.

, That's most likely the Aranyaprathet - Poi Pet border and they are hard about bouncing on multi-entry Non-Immigrant visas at that crossing.

you can walk out and back in just NOT every border will let you do it. What border did you try to bounce at?
