How long do we need to stay in a third country before returning to Thailand on a 60-day visa exemption?

@Jonah ************
 it will be viewed as a border bounce. If you have zero previous history in Thailand you should get back in ok, but why would you when an extension provides the time you need. Just get the extension

8 days is irrelevant in your case but much simpler just to get the extension.

What is the best way to return to Thailand for New Year's after spending an extended period there and visiting Laos first?
John **********
In my view there isn't a huge difference between a single entry tourist visa and a visa exempt entry. When immigration says get a visa next time the generally mean one appropriate for the purpose of your stay

Are there restrictions on how many Non-O visas for retirement one can obtain from their home country?
John **********
If all that is stopping you is having to put money in a Thai bank then while you are back in your home country get a Non-OA visa as opposed to a Non-O visa. It's good for 12 months (you can actually get close to 2 years out of it if used judiciously) based on money in your home bank, not a Thai bank
