Answer summary
The time taken to obtain a visa on arrival to Laos at Mukdahan can vary depending on the queue at the border. It is advised to arrive early or even the night before if you have a scheduled appointment at the Thai Consulate in Savannakhet. Note that the consulate may be closed on certain holidays, so it's important to check in advance.

Does one need to book an appointment at the Thai embassy in Savannakhet now before travelling there? I thought that only applied to Vientiene?

Yes it takes time to get the visa on arrival to Laos. I don't know how long the line is because it depends on the queue. I recommend buying a tourist visa from the Laos consulate if you don't want to miss your appointment
