haha i hear ya, spent way too much time running visas. Anyway, check with the posibility to do it at Kanchanaburi, its a short drive. Wish i knew more about it though.
I've done VTE several times and never had any hustle, would recommend it. Someone correct me if i'm wrong, but i THINK, VTE does not require proof of funds, etc, as opposed to SVKT -
I reckon you can do it over at Kanchanaburi for a normal border hop, not sure about the details or requirements though. But i think it's closest/quickest. Otherwise a trainride from BKK to Viantiene will give you another 90 days.
