Hopefully I can go to immigration and get a 30 day extension without any hassles at all! Just pay the 1900 baht and get my 30 day extension to at least buy me some time

My writing was different to your last example. Something about checking funds but when I get to Laos they said it meant I can only apply for a new visa back home. Which is weird because I got it translated by a few Thai friends who all told me it was to check if I had funds and ask if I’m working. That’s all

My writing was very different, I got it translated by a Thai friend who said it said they should check I have enough funds to stay for 3 months (I took over 20k in cash and they still denied me)
