Do I need to personally attend for a single re-entry permit?

Nothing difficult. Sorry.

I know full well about the airport option. But I asked about Jomptien. 

The agent wildcard just confuses people who go about their business within the 'rules'. 

Thanks for your help.

If forgetful, or planning to leave Thailand by land, it can make sense to get the re-entry permit from the immigration office in advance. Otherwise, doing it at the airport when leaving (which is what I always do) is the easiest solution. By the way, being terrified of forgetting to get a re-entry permit, I have a post-it note stuck to my TM6 departure card to remind me.

Only now they are not issuing TM6 on arrival.

Especially dangerous for PR holders. On return to LOS no re-entry stamp a very good chance PR will be cancelled.

PR holders cannot get re-entry permits at the airport, as far as I know. Their re-entry permits are different, and must be acquired in advance from an immigration office.

True!
