thank you that's the answer that I was looking for. :) her work already cxld visa and work permit today she said. I think travel agent was just trying to sweet talk and sell the visa run tour to her... :(

Hi all, thank for your input. My main point is is it ok if she fly to any country for a day or two(e.g: SG, HK, Cambodia, Vietnam) then re-enter Thailand on tourist status? Even though she had B visa previously, immigration will give her tourist status? Apparently she has been told that she has to return to her home country or Laos in order to gain entry which sounded bit funny to me. Sorry the way I wrote was not clear enough.
