Does Thai consulate in Laos accept Non-B visa application from Indian citizen?

Is there any other nearby country that allows?

Or my only option is to go to India and apply there.

Had friend from Egypt apply in Laos. They told him no. Only in Egypt. He had next to no funds for two weeks there. Eventually he received a Visa on special dispensation.

Also I do have a work permit.

Do I have to submit WP3 again for new Visa or just the copy of work permit since I am not changing the company.
