The circular red stamp at the bottom looks to be real. however here is a visa from Chennai in Nov of last year and it is a sticker. The fact you have a stamp though is NOT reason enough to call it a fake.

Amandeep, cost doesn't matter, agent must have charged his fee.What matters is the visa genuine? So it's better for him to check with VFS, rather being deported/charged from BKK airport.

Just came back from Laos. It was a stamp not a sticker. I think they often run out of stickers so revert to a stamp.
