TLDR : Answer Summary
The discussion revolves around whether it is better to return to Thailand by flying into an international airport or by crossing the border at Nong Khai. Comments highlight that crossing the border is possible if the individual already has a valid visa for Laos. If flying, one must comply with entry requirements for Thailand. Users suggest it could be easier to cross by land, especially if no land entries have been exhausted that year.

Hey Joe, I removed the picture of your visa, it had confidential information. Can you edit the picture and respost it? It was granted, but stamp with a void without prejudice

I'd say IF you don't have TWO 30 day visa exempt entries by land so far this year go to the Nong Khai land border and just stamp into thailand There are reports of people getting stamped right in without much fanfare

NOPE it's no good at all. You can get in on a 30 day visa exempt entry stamp because you hold a french passport

Border crossing into Laos at Nong Khai is only open if you already have a valid visa for Laos.

Not sure what you like to do
