British passport holder on 30 day visa if I cross Laos Vientiane and back over land how many days visa will I get thanks
Answer summary
As a British passport holder on a 30-day visa exemption in Thailand, you can return after crossing into Laos and receive a new 30-day visa exemption stamp upon re-entry. However, you have the option to apply for a 30-day extension at a local immigration office. Keep in mind that you can only enter Thailand visa-exempt at land borders two times per calendar year.

You're not on any visa if you have 30 days. You're on visa exempt which means no visa at all.
You can either go to your local immigration office and apply for a 30 day extension one time per entry.
Or you can cross the border and return and you'll receive a new 30 day stamp if you don't have a visa.
If you haven't requested an extension yet, you should do that first. You're only allowes to enter Thailand at a land border without a visa 2 times per calendar year. So if you do it now you'll only be allowed one more time this year. Might as well get your extension first and save your entries until needed.
