ORIGINAL POSTER
If I am denied entry to Thailand at a land crossing and made to return to Laos (for example), will I receive any stamp/note on my passport that would be potentially detrimental should I attempt to come back to Thailand again (or any other country, for that matter)?

TLDR : Answer Summary
There is little concern about receiving a stamp or note in your passport if you are denied entry to Thailand at a land crossing; accounts of such occurrences are rare. Even if denied entry, immigration authorities primarily rely on digital records rather than physical stamps.

and as the O/P has not weighed back in about any of the advice well will go with the premise they have their answer. Good luck to them and their impending border crossing ๐Ÿ™‚

Stamps in a passport are not the issue they have computers containing your data.

Stamps in passport are still a serious issue. Especially when applying for a visa in another country, or when an IO looks at your passport.

I can count on one hand with fingers left over the number of people denied entry at ANY of the Thai/Lao borders over the years. It's so rare as to not even be something to waste time thinking about.

Why would you think you'd be denied entry by land? do you have an excessive stay history or what?

No you would not receive any stamp in your passport.
