ORIGINAL POSTER

Help! I'm unable to reach the Thai embassy in Laos by phone, and when I try to email, the email bounces back. Anyone know a.) whether they're currently operational, and b.) how many days it takes to get a Thai tourist visa at the embassy there?

TLDR : Answer Summary

The Thai embassy in Laos, both in Vientiane and the consulate in Savannakhet, are currently operational. To obtain a tourist visa, the Vientiane embassy requires an appointment made online and offers a processing time of 2 working days, while no appointment is needed at the Savannakhet consulate, with similar processing time. Potential callers may have difficulties reaching them by phone.

No appointment needed for the Savannakhet Consulate.

Apply in the morning and then pick up the next afternoon.

Not many people there 2 weeks ago...
