I thought before you had the option to tick a box for either single or multiple entry and paid accordingly. Has anyone been there and completed this recently to confirm its good to go?

that's the paper FROM the savannakhet website,

You HAND write one year multiple entry and you hand them 5000baht when you turn in your paperwork so they KNOW you're not wanting a single entry 2000baht visa

You need to have

-original rose bordered marriage certificate (if you were married in thailand)

COPIES OF

- ft/back of it (signed by you and your thai wife)

- ft/back of your thai wife's thai i/d card (signed by her)

- thai wife's house book listing (signed by her)

- data page of your passport (signed by you)

- your lao visa & entry stamp (signed by you)

filled out Savannakhet specific application for visa with passport sized photo on it

Hand written letter addressed to the thai consulate in Savannakhet by your thai wife (in english or thai) asking they issue you a year long multi-entry Non-O visa ( just a short letter stating your name, DOB, passport, married on xx date to her name, DOB, thai i/d, and requesting you be issued a year-multi-Non-O visa based on marriage

Those things and 5000baht should get the visa for you

You turn in the paperwork between 9-11am one day and pick it up between 2-4pm the afternoon of the following working day.

nope, you're confusing getting a visa extension INSIDE the country at the immigration office with getting visa OUTSIDE the country from a thai consulate.

Savannakhet accepted foreign marriage certificates before without certification

The Thai consulate in Savannakhet Lao is issuing year-long, multi-entry, Non-O visas based on marriage to a thai just like they used to with the same document requirements as before and without the proof of funds just like before as well.

You DO need an approved thai pass to get back in to thailand for that border crossing.
