TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is seeking recommendations for agencies in Penang, Malaysia, that can assist with the application for a tourist visa after facing a red stamp in Laos. They also inquire about the associated costs. Commenters suggest confirming the extension of their current visa and mention a specific guest house that offers assistance, noting that the Thai consulate in Penang will be closed on a certain date.

You can use Jim's Place guest house run by Jim Tachinamurthy.

Be advised that the thai consulate in Penang is closed Wednesday the 18th.

You are asking questions that are close to the edge of what we allow. :/

If you are asked you must show proof of onward travel within 30 days when entering on a 30 visa exempt stamp.

BUT how you go about getting a document that states you're leaving thailand in 30 days is up to you ;)

I used a place just down from jims. 1900b total. My 5th tourist visa. Asked if they reckoned i could get a 6th. No problem was their answer. But remember. Proof of accommodation, proof of founding return ticket out of penang, and out of thai in January

Nope, not hardly any issues other than the overstay fine of 500 baht a day and the stamp.
