TLDR : Answer Summary
If your Digital Nomad Visa (DTV) is not approved, entering Thailand the next day with a visa exemption might not be guaranteed. The ability to enter depends on various factors such as your nationality and previous time spent in Thailand. There's also a possibility that you could face scrutiny, including location checks or interviews, especially coming from Laos.

Depends on your passport, how long you spent in thailand before etc

Never a guarantee, but they rarely send someone off without a good reason

No, you may be denied. They may check your location by asking for proof or requesting an interview. Laos has a compulsory interview.
