Thanks BritTim & el viajero -- I didn't realize that little detail, that the re-entry permit does not buy more time -- I had thought it may. This will certainly help with my travel planning -- just picked up my passport w/ SETV granted a few hours ago :-)
So -- thanks!

Is it still possible to buy additional visa entries in Thailand for 1000 Baht each?

I have the fine print above my last Vientiane 2-entry TV, "holder of this passport travels to Thailand under tourist visa several times..." That visa is dated 2 Jun 2015 -- 14 months ago, 3rd 2-entry TV in a row from Vientiane, followed by two visa runs to Laos, in Dec, 2015, and Feb, 2016.
When I left Thailand in April, 2016, the immigration officer (whom I had met on a previous trip) suggested that next time I wanted to come to Thailand, I should go to Hong Kong. From what I've read on this forum, that sounds like the best option for me.
So I'm thinking of going to Hong Kong to get an SETV.
Should I expect any difficulty getting an SETV in Hong Kong in my current passport?
Thanks in advance!

So I'm thinking of going to Hong Kong or Kunming to get an SETV.

Not sure if this is the right forum, but:
Does anybody have info on getting a Thai SETV at the consulate in Kunming, China? I didn't see Kunming on the list of Thai consulates in the region. Kunming is much more convenient for me than Hong Kong.

3 items of interest:
1. Directions to the Thai Consulate in HKG. If you're using the MTR, do NOT get off at Central. Get off at ADMIRALTY. The Fairmont house is NOT in between the 2 stops. It is literally just across the foot bridge from ADMIRALTY -- just follow the instructions originally posted above. My hotel gave me a free shuttle ride to Central. I wasted about an hour trying to make the so-called "10 minute walk", before finally returning to Central, buying a fare to Admiralty -- a scant 4.5 $HKD, and following the instructions.
2. Hotel. I like Caritas Oswald Cheung International House. It's near the peak, on the south side of HKG Island, so you're away from the action, but you get a spacious 26 sq m room, bathroom is separate from the room (MUCH less humid after you take a shower), everything is cheaper in this neighborhood than downtown, and they provide free shuttle to/from Central MTR/Airport railway station. Plus, they make all your photocopies (for Thai Consulate) and print any documents you need (instructions on how to get to Fairmont house) for free, saving you cost & hassle.
3. I got my SETV today -- I was so elated, I almost got lost exiting the Fairmont house & returning to Admiralty station (which is nearly impossible to do!) :-)
