METV or Visa Exemption for multiple short-stay entries? (+ internal flights).
This page does not state that you need either a long stay visa/extension. https://bangkok.immigration.go.th/en/re-entry-permit/ And the application form even has an "other" tick box along with "Non-Imm", "tourist" and "transit" So it sure would appear that you can, apply for a re-entry permit with a visa exempt entry. The only reason I can think of as to why, would be if you were using a land crossing back when you were only allowed 2 exempt entries, this way, your re-entry would not count. -

Foreign Tour Operators Flood Phuket, Taking Jobs from Locals
On October 9, a popular Facebook page, "Hodjung Phuket," shared a video clip revealing a foreign man openly selling tour packages to tourists from a street-side booth in Phuket. The 23-second video shows the man serving customers at a tour counter near Kata and Karon beaches, an area known for attracting tourists. The post included a caption stating, “Who needs Thais? Selling tours ourselves! No wonder locals are upset.” The video quickly sparked outrage online, with many expressing frustration over foreigners taking over jobs typically held by Thai locals. Commenters voiced their concerns, some describing Phuket as a “lawless land” and pointing out that this issue has persisted for a long time. Others noted the growing presence of foreign operators in popular areas like Kata and Karon and questioned why authorities haven’t intervened. Following the post, local reporters verified the location, identifying the tour counter near Karon Temple in Mueang district. There was no evidence of officials on-site enforcing regulations, raising questions about the oversight of such activities. The clip prompted calls for relevant authorities to investigate and regulate these businesses, which are perceived as undercutting Thai operators and evading local laws. This incident reflects a broader issue where unregulated foreign-run businesses in Phuket seem to be skirting regulations, while locals are left feeling sidelined. The page’s post has since gained significant traction, with numerous users calling for immediate action to address the influx of foreign-run tour businesses in popular tourist areas, reported Daily News.
