You can do a border run and get a 30 day stamp

BUT

• It seems Poipet won't let you exit unless you have a visa to re-enter Thailand (go to another border crossing)
  
• You will likely be asked to show onward travel within 30 days on entry to Thailand
  
• You may be asked to show 20,000 Baht 'living' money
  

EDIT BTW, you'll need to visit immigration to get your last entry stamp transferred to your new passport before you can exit the country (free I believe).

EDIT 2 I Should have read the sub-heading, Jomtien should be fine for a 30 day, Lop corrected the value, 10,000 required (not often checked).

You used a tourist visa from Singapore to enter Thailand for 60 days. You extended the sixty day stay another 30 days. Now you want to return to Thailand. You do not mention using any 30 day visa exempt entries prior to your Singapore tourist visa so yes you can cross into Laos and return to obtain a 30 day permitted to stay stamp. You should have 10,000 baht with you in case it is asked to be shown and you should also have a ticket out of Thailand within the next 30 days for the same reason (both are requirements but not often checked). If you take the time to obtain a visa the required money would increase to 20,000 baht but there would not be any ticket requirement. Am quite sure Embassy is not open on Saturday. But you could go tonight, cross in morning and return Friday afternoon.
