Need advice about my travel by using an official passport

Dear all,

I am a Thai student, living in UK with Tier-4 visa.I came to London by using my national (normal) passport.

I am a government officer so I also have an official passport of Thailand.
On 13-14 February 2017, I am invited to join the meeting at Geneva, Switzerland.I have contacted the Switzerland embassy, they said that Thai official passport holders do not require a visa for Switzerland when travelling for tourist/ visit purposes of up to 90 days.

However, I have another point that I need your clarification.
Since I used my normal (national) passport to enter London for my study last month, is it OK if I will use my official passport and my BRP to show the immigration officer about my leaving for Geneva and re-entering to London?
Would it be necessary to show both passports to the immigration officer for my travel?

Thank you very much.

Why not just show your national passport when you re-enter the UK? It seems very complicated to bring this other passport into the picture, when there is no reason to do so.

Thank you very much for your help.
I have replied you few days ago. But I am wondering that there might be some problem with the internet.

I will travel tomorrow. Perhaps I will first try to use my official passport. If the immigration is alright, it must be not any problem.

I will update you again.
Thanks

You must re-enter the UK on the passport that holds your student visa.

Have you declared this official passport with HO in any previous applications?
