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.
