TLDR : Answer Summary

The response clarifies that it is not possible to obtain a Re-Entry permit at the Friendship Bridge (Nong Khai) when crossing into Laos. Foreigners must secure the permit in advance from their local immigration office before traveling.

No, re-entry permits are not sold for foreigners at the land border checkpoints. You need to get one before you go at your local immigration office.
