TLDR : Answer Summary

Laotian citizens who enter Thailand on a 30-day stamp are not eligible for a tourism extension, as their entry is under a visa waiver rather than being visa-exempt. This means they cannot extend their stay beyond the initial 30 days at Changwattana immigration.

Unfortunately, the answer is no. Laotian people are stamped for 30 days on visa waiver which is not eligible for tourism extension, and not visa-exempt which is eligible for tourism extension.

No limit on times of entering for them even through land borders, though.

Your friend can go to the IT Square Laksi Plaza office, not Chaengwattana, in case he needs to get that 7-day-to-leave stamp (Which we don't recommend unless it's really necessary).
