If by "the laws of thoughts"

If by "laws of thoughts" you mean laws of logic, then no.

No coherent (that is, self-consistent) situation can violate any law of logic. Even philosophers, such as Graham Priest, who claim to be able to imagine situations that violate the law of non-contradiction concede that those situations are not self-consistent.
