Problem with ED Visa! Did I screw myself up?

[Aldebaran1981]

Dear all,

I went to Laos to apply and get my ed visa.

However I noticed that it was single entry. And I did not have to pay. The lady over the counter told me it's free.

Then when I entered bangkok today, I realized that my visa has been used.

Problem is, I need to go to china for a short trip to visit some friends. When I return, will my 3 month be reduced back to one month?

When I exit, the immigration officer will surely erase my records?

Very pissed with myself right now

Did you ever hear about a re-entry permit?

A single re-entry will cost you 1000 baht. They can be purchased at your local immigration office or at the airport.

Mo eh I really never heard of it. I purchase that when I come back?

You have to purchase it before you leave.

Purchase at the airport? Where exactly at the airport do I do that? Before I check in or after?
