I've never heard of anyone stupid enough to try returning without fixing what caused them to be denied

Look in the bottom right corner of the last few pages of your passport. They probably wrote something very small in there.

if they get a long term visa or pay for agent entry, they won't say anything.

You'll get a denied entry stamp. That's not the same as a ban. You can still return.

Laos. But might have to wait a month. Maybe Indonesia. Can wait in Bali while they process

As long as you can explain to immigration why you have a work extension from Bangkok but are living in Phang Nga. You won't be able to do a 90 day report in Bangkok unless you have a TM30 from Bangkok.

There were only a couple of land borders that still used TM6 before the TDAC. Airports haven't used it for years.

7 days might not be enough time to apply for a visa, if you mean you will only be there for 7 days. If you have a Thai wife or Thai child, you can get a visa based on that.

Right

Nothing will change if he doesn't want to switch the reason for his extension. In the future, if he decides to change, all he has to do is make sure his bank account has at least 400,000 baht around October and stays at that level until he applies for his extension, and instead of applying for the extension based on employment, he would apply based on being married to a Thai. It won't affect his work or work permit at all. In fact if he's still working at that time, he can use proof of his salary over 40,000 baht per month and won't even need the bank balance.
