How many nights do you need to stay in Laos to get an entry stamp back into Thailand?
Steve *******
There is no time limit for staying outside of the country. If you get let back in depends on the immigration officer at the border and your travel history.

What are the procedures for switching to a Destination Thailand Visa (DTV) while having an existing visa?
Steve *******
The official rule is that if you enter Thailand with a visa application pending, your application will be cancelled.

You're supposed to stay where the embassy is and wait.

So..pick a cheap country to apply in.
