TLDR : Answer Summary
An Italian expat holding a multiple-entry non-B visa can travel to Vientienne, Laos. Despite recent border restrictions, the consensus in the comments is that the non-B visa remains valid for travel. However, travelers should monitor changing regulations as the situation evolves.

How about Laos instead of Cambodia? Can it be extended in country- exceptionally?

Laos a better choice than Cambodia.

There is no exemptions to extending a multiple entry non-B visa. Laos should be fine to bounce out of.

CAMBODIA – published 14.03.2020

Effective from 17.03.2020:

All passengers who in the past 14 days have been to, or are originating from France, Germany, Italy, Spain or USA are not allowed to enter or transit Cambodia. This restriction applies for 30 days.

- This does not apply to nationals of Cambodia or residents of Cambodia.

@James *******
will Thailand allow people in who have come from Cambodia?! Ie if we choose that as the place for a ‘visa run’?
Benjamin ******
Yes, the visa is still valid, and therefore can be used as normal.
