TLDR : Answer Summary

The post inquires about the current status of the border between Nong Khai, Thailand, and Vientiane, Laos, questioning whether it remains open following previous reports of a closure. The comments indicate that, as of December 29, 2022, all borders, except for Myanmar, are open.

It's confusing trying to follow your situation. Why did you not apply for an ED visa inside Thailand for your kid? Once she had this you could have applied for a guardian visa. Too late now for you as I think you've got the must leave within 7 days stamp, but your daughter could still possibly get the ED visa. Then it's just you that needs sorted so you need to find an embassy that will issue a guardian visa for you. I'd suggest coming back in visa exempt and applying for the guardian visa inside Thailand but given your history that might be a bit risky.
