Will I need to restart the Test & Go process upon re-entering Thailand after visiting Laos?
I am thinking of visiting Laos for a few days, then re-entering Thailand.
Can anyone please tell me if such a plan would require me to to re-start Test & Go, spending another night in an approved hotel, etc, on re-entry into Thailand?

Answer summary
The plan to visit Laos and then re-enter Thailand will indeed require compliance with Thailand's entry requirements each time. Travelers will need to restart the Test & Go process and will need to secure another Thai pass for their return. Currently, there are travel restrictions regarding entering Laos, and it's advisable to consider alternative destinations like Cambodia for easier travel.

Laos is closed. No visas to enter. Who is advising you otherwise? In fact, the Thai embassy in laos may not be issuing visas.. Not sure about that

I beleive you can apply for your Thai pass before you leave Thailand which would probably make it easier for you.

@An**
the only way to get back in is Thai pass. If you leave for a minute it’s the same process all over again. But you can apply and get approved before you even leave.

Yes, of course...

You must meet entry requirements every time you enter.
