TLDR : Answer Summary
The process for obtaining a new tourist visa in Vientiane typically involves contacting a visa tour company for assistance. Starting February 1, an online application process will be in place, and it is necessary to register online before proceeding. If you are unable to secure a new tourist visa in Vientiane, you may still be able to enter Thailand under the Visa Exempt Entry, depending on your passport. You are advised to check the specific requirements based on your nationality.

IF you're going there AFTER the first of Feb you will need to register online.

From the UK. I didn't renew my job as I didn't like the school. Now I only have a tourist visa but want to extend it. The online process is a bit confusing. I want to go to Laos in Feb.

Has your school still not provided you with your documents for a work permit. Its been several months.

On December 28th you posted:

"I was a teacher and had a non-b visa. I am currently waiting for a new non-b visa from my school but they said i should renew my tourist visa first. I have done this a few times this year but left thailand for 6 months. I arrived on a tourist visa 3 months ago and have to go to laos now. My question is if they dont give me a new tourist visa in laos will i be allowed to enter thailand because i need to rebook my flight and check out of my apartment. Thanks"

 But i heard from somebody .If you don;t have a visa you can't enter Thailand via Nongkhai immigration. So I thought the Visa Exempt Entry is by airplane.

 some passport holders can get a 30 day Visa Exempt Entry if they come to Thailand without a Visa. Check this list if your country is on it:
