I'm on a extension with re entry permit

Yep. Different situation. 

Most doing border  bounce are looking for another 60 visa exempt stamp. 

Not so simple for them to fly out and back. 

Also would  need onward flight. 

You not so.

This border crossing, along with all other land crossings into Cambodia from Thailand , IS CLOSED.

 

Currently, no problems flying into Cambodia (Siem Reap and Phnom Penh) from Bangkok BKK and DMK.

No, it isn't.

 

That border is shut.

And then they come back moaning  " We are losing  tourists " I was told that if you fly out to Cambodia or Viet you cannot return for 2 weeks.

I did a border run from Udon to Nong khai border no probs next day my 2 friends were refused entry at Thai side and were told to re-enter through Bkk main airport they were worried on flying in they would be refused entry because they were refused entry on there passport at Nong - khai immigration.

"I'll bounce myself and save money" people

... would never have gone to NK / Savannakhet for this, unless they were staying in Issan.  Trips to Laos were for Visas - not border-bounces.  Cambodia or Myanmar were closer, therefore "cheaper," and no problem to use those - though both (except Raynong) are unavailable, now.

 

A better term would be the "Not crammed in a van at 4AM with a barf-bag people," anyway.

If you only come to Thailand 1 or 2 x per-year, for 60-days or less per-trip, then 2 weeks might be enough to avoid paying for immigration's "safe entry" agent-service. 

 

Anyone who was doing regular border-bounces to Cambodia would need "safe entry" agent-service, or get locked-up, then booted-back, if coming in via-air.

Just use another land-border from Laos, is the solution.  Wait a couple nights in Laos, first.  If in a hurry, then must use immigration's "safe entry" to come back by air.
