What options does my Algerian friend have for renewing his visa in Thailand before it expires?

A user is inquiring about options for an Algerian friend who has been in Thailand for 2.5 months and recently extended his visa by one month. The visa is set to expire soon, and there's concern about reentering Thailand after traveling to Laos or Malaysia, particularly since Algeria is listed as a country with limited visa options at certain consulates. One comment notes that Algerians cannot obtain Thai visas from the consulates in Malaysia or Laos, prompting a request for alternative visa application locations.
