TLDR : Answer Summary

To obtain a 30-day visa exemption at the Thai border with Laos, you need to exit Thailand, stamp in and out of Laos, and then re-enter Thailand. Citizens from qualifying countries can receive a free entry stamp upon re-entry, but it is important to note that a visa will not be issued at the border.

The requirement is to stamp out of Thailand, stamp in and out of Laos then, if your passport allows, you can re-enter Thailand and get a 30 day Visa Exempt stamp. You will not get a Visa.

You won't get a visa at the border. If you're from a qualifying country you'll get a free entry stamp.
