Looks like the laotian IO demands money to let them exit.

I don't think he is talking about the 20k baht cash the Thai IO might wants to see

You still need the tm30 document the hotel provides for you

Hotel will do it online and give you a printout or screenshot.

This you have to show to immigration

So refrain from giving out wrong information🤦🏻

I would go to a Bangkok Bank in Pattaya and open it there.

Apparently they still let you open if you buy insurance from them.
