What are the costs and experiences of a border run from Pattaya to Vientiane for a visa extension?

Border run #2 22.8.25

Drove to vientiane border from pattaya, drank 1 drink and came back to Thailand. When I left Thailand the IO lady was looking at the computer quite a few moments, I didnt ask why but I was thinking because I did my TDAC 5minutes before going to her 🤔

When I got back, the IO wanted to tell me that my visa is DTV and I will get 180days, that was quite funny, that was all the conversation we had 😆 never experienced explaining before, for 4years

Why I post is the budget;

Car 700thb

Gas 2500thb (honda city)

Laos visa 1700thb(+100thb because i forgot to take passport picture) thats $52 if you pay with dollars its $40

Leave your car next the 711 parking lot, 50thb. Tuktuk to bus station 50thb (i offered he accepted), bus 30thb each way

Thats a total of 5160thb for another 180days. And about 24h of time (had 2 of us, each driving one way)

I also got a speeding ticket of 1000thb, they set a trap at the mountain speedlimit lowered to 40 (altho same time says cars 60, who knows) when we were rolling down only using break 😅, a lot of fog so cant see much, i was following car ahead of me because i could see the lights, for "some reason" they looked at him and let him go and picked me 🤣

Also got picket at 1 of the 6 big stops we encountered...

"ooh.... silence.... you speak thai? -mai"

"what you name? -Toni"

"where you go? -pai Chon Buri"

"Ok pa"
