Is the Thai consulate in savannaket closed or not? I'm hearing until 20 April but not sure if it's true or not
Answer summary
The Thai consulate in Savannakhet is effectively closed, with reports suggesting a closure until at least April 20. Accessing the consulate is also complicated as entering Laos requires a visa, which is not being issued to non-Thai nationals by the Lao consulates in Thailand. Therefore, individuals cannot reach the Thai consulate without obtaining a Lao visa.

It's effectively closed. You need a visa to enter Laos. Both Lao consulates in Thailand do not sell visas to people who are not Thai. Without a way to get to Laos, you can't get to the Thai consultant in Savannakhet.
