TLDR : Answer Summary
To apply for a tourist visa in Vientiane, you need to make an advance appointment to submit your application. Recent experiences indicate that you do not need proof of funds, proof of onward travel, or hotel booking at the Thai consulate there. It's recommended to check the embassy's official website for the latest requirements and forms.

, there is no requirement for proof of funds, proof of onward travel or proof of a hotel booking at the thai consulate in Vientiane

BUT you need to make a booking to turn in your application at this site BEFORE you show up there

EDIT: Ignore this post - the embassy's website was old, and (hopefully) taken down soon.

Just go by what it says at the embassy's website, and you'd be fine.
