I would like to update that I was let through the Laos border near Loei (I'm sorry I forgot the name) no problem. I immediately returned for the visa exemption and was let in no problem by Thailand. No talk of a health certificate or health insurance. I have an American passport by the way.

I asked the immigration officer if this border or savannkhet have any plans on closing and he told me no.
Answer summary
The user shared their experience crossing the Laos border near Loei into Thailand and successfully used the visa exemption for entry without needing a health certificate or insurance. They were informed by the immigration officer that there are no plans to close this border.
