Why? This is Thailand. You've not been here long enough or what? They can't get the 90 days report to work properly online.

Adding to that, the ETA, which was supposed to be early next year, was delayed because obv they have no idea what they are doing and probably got a lot of pushback from a few rich Thai family who are well connected within the agent industry (take their cut). They can't even make the 90 days online report work without lag. ETA is hopeless.

But yes, Poi Pet is hard, I would not bounce from there. 9k baht fast track service with Thai Visa Centre, or trying your luck in Chiang Mai airport or Langkawi by boat are all good options.

Julian is correct. It's still quite easy to border bounce. Did my third bounce of the year in Nong Khai about 3 weeks ago. I have 3 passport loaded with stamps. Before, it was 2 bounce per year by land, but some people were still able to do more if they enter from South Thailand, for example with a boat in Langkawi, or with help (tea money) at the border. Entering by air in Bangkok have been hard since 10 years ago! It's been a while. I've been here for much longer than Julian so i can confirm that he's correct.

Your situation is different. BKK airport have been strict for 7-8 years, even more so lately but they were already denied a lot of people. But you have a good chance of being allowed in by LAND. Bangkok airport is to be avoided. I haven't enter via Bangkok for 8 years.

It's around 8k baht with an agent with connection at the airport. It's not a standard fast track it's under the table. Most are unaware of it.

Apparently there is more to his story. I'm trying to get to the bottom of this.

He need to reach Thai Visa Centre. I don't see any other way of him getting back in unless he get tourist visa in Vientiane.
