For those who applied from Vientiane: is the payment made directly at the embassy in THB?! How do you get the money in THB?! Don't tell me you have to withdraw local currency and exchange it...?!

PS: I don't have dollars or euros...
Answer summary
The payment for a visa at the Thai embassy in Vientiane is made directly in Thai Baht (THB). If you do not have THB, you can exchange your local currency at a money changer. There are several posts discussing where to exchange currency for THB to facilitate the visa payment.

Yes, you pay direct to the embassy. Go to a money changer and change what currency you have. There are several posts in the threads about where to get THB to pay for the visa.
