TLDR : Answer Summary

The visa fee for a Thai visa must be paid in Thai Baht only, as confirmed by the consulate's official website. Therefore, Lao Kips cannot be used for payment, and applicants should plan to convert Lao Kips to Thai Baht before applying.

Pay for Laos visa in USD, pay for Thai visa in THB(1000 for SETV). Spend/change back Lao Kip before leaving.
