You do not have to go all the way into Vientiane. Just show up on the Lao side, pay your $35, or about baht 1,500, get a Lao Visa On Arrival, stamp INTO Laos, walk around the building, stamp out of Laos, back to the Thai side, stamp in for another 30 days.

Don't know how they handle both Thai and Lao immigrations for a "bridge run" so better ask around for that.

FYI, I forget how Thai immigrations handles the "admitted to 28 March 2009" date, I always departed a day or two prior. You might ask at immigration if you're going to be there on Friday the 27th. Even do your border run on Friday just to be sure.

Unclear what your have or want. If you need a new visa you have to apply at Consulate - a two workday process. If you have a valid multi entry visa you cross border, get stamp for other country and are free to return for a new 90 day entry. If you are without visa and just want a visa exempt entry you do the same for a 15 day stay (not 30 days anymore on a land crossing).

A crossing/return does not require you stay in other country any set time (although other country might try to scam a "fee" if they know you are just returning).
