TLDR : Answer Summary

When doing a same day border bounce from Thailand with a UK passport and a non-immigrant O multi-entry visa, you do not officially need to have 20,000 baht on hand, as this requirement applies primarily to tourists. However, while it's not strictly enforced in practice, using land borders is often recommended for such bounces.

In theory yes, in practice no. Same day border bounces are better done using land borders in cases such as yours.
