Going to Savannakhet- Thai consulate. 

Should I bring Laos Kip or just pay with Thai baht?

Also, how much should the ride cost from the bridge to the consulate?

Thanks in advance 🙏🙏

TLDR : Answer Summary

When visiting the Thai consulate in Savannakhet, it is recommended to pay with Thai baht, as it is accepted everywhere, though change will be given in Laos Kip. Additionally, the cost for a taxi ride from the bridge to the consulate is generally low, with reports indicating fares around 100 baht.

Thai baht for the visa. You can use Thai baht everywhere but you'll get change in kip. Ride from the bridge is only a couple of klicks
