Well I didn't like you suggesting an expensive border run when all the girl asked was if she can go to immigration and do 30 days, which in itself could give more problems than you realise. Maybe you were just giving a different view, but it's confusing to people who are not sure about their own countries requirements to extend the visa here. So I apologise and we'll leave it there 🤝
You are giving people bad advice when you don't really know how things work here. Don't worry you are not alone, there are plenty of idiots commenting wrong advice here...
The girl was asking can she extend it at immigration and you are sending her to a different country with a visa agent. 4500 would get you a return flight from Thailand.
You shouldn't give advice like this. People are genuinely confused and ask for help and morons like you tell them to spend 4500 and leave the country. If you don't know the answer then don't say anything. Idiot!
This happened to somebody I knew from the uk before covid, I can't see it being any different now. He was refused at check-in by the airline. He told me most of south east asia is the same 6 month rule. He flew to Europe instead as I believe it's a 3 month rule for entry to countries there. I'm from the UK and getting a new updated passport took me 1 week. I'm sure you pay extra an can do it 1 day or 1 week. Good luck
Most of the idiots here write with no experience or knowledge.
You should have no issues entering that border in February and if they say no then you don't spend time in a detention centre, just go back into Laos and fly in. I just flew into Chiang mai. I didn't want to chance flying into Bangkok. Good luck
