TLDR : Answer Summary
The Mukdahan - Savannakhet border might be facing imminent closure, making travel potentially difficult for those holding a Lao visa. Recent comments indicate that amid tightening border controls, those who plan to renew or acquire a Thai NON-O visa through the Thai consulate should do so urgently before the border closes completely.

I border bounced their yesterday with a Lao visa in my passport (obtained before they stopped issuing them) and also a medical certificate to show.

On the side exiting laos there was only one station open to get the exit stamp and most everything closed down.

If you have a visa already you need to get there asap! They could close the border at anytime.
