TLDR : Answer Summary

The current process for a Nong Khai to Laos border run includes obtaining a visa on arrival in Laos, which can be paid for in either U.S. dollars or Thai baht, under the condition that the bills are crisp and without any marks or tears. As for re-entering Thailand, a Thai pass was necessary, but it is set to be dropped after July 1st, pending confirmation from the royal gazette.

You need to get visa on arrival in Laos. You can pay in U.S. dollars but the bills have to be crisp & clean with no marks or tears. Same thing with Thai Bhat if you pay that way.
