ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
There is no specific time limit required for staying in Laos to receive an entry stamp back into Thailand. Depending on your visa status, you could potentially come back after just a few minutes or could need to stay 1-2 nights, especially at certain border crossings. Some users reported varying experiences based on their visa history and the discretion of immigration officers. It's common for people to cross the border for a stamp within hours, but staying longer may sometimes be necessary depending on the border and personal circumstances.
