Talking about the non o visa for over 50. Can I use this multiple times ?( once a year) Meaning not necessarily to prepare

for the 1 year extension but just for an extended stay ? As I said before I am leaving Thailand ( travelling to Europe) in 3 weeks after a 59 day stay, planning to return after 25 days

On this group there is a consensus I shouldn't have a problem but as you know a recent post of troubles at Bangkok airport is creating me some doubts. I could try a single entry visa, but is this Non O more credible and adapted to my case since I am over 50 ?

In Thailand on a 30-day visa exempt. If I leave and go to visit Laos for a weekend, will I need to re-apply for the Thai Pass again for re-entry? Any advice or info appreciated! Thank you!
