TLDR : Answer Summary

The best way to travel from Pattaya to Savannakhet for obtaining a Non-O visa is to take a bus to Mukdahan, then another bus to Savannakhet. It is recommended to reach Mukdahan a day early, stay overnight, and go to immigration in Savannakhet the next day to collect the visa after 2 PM. Other travel options include overnight buses, driving with stops at various locations, or flying from Bangkok or Utapao to reach the destination. Necessary paperwork includes your passport, marriage certificate, spouse's ID and blue book, along with copies of these documents.

Any decent hotel recommendations in Mukdahan and Savannakhet. I've decided to drive stopping off at Saraburi then Udon Thani before heading to Mukdahan.

Once again thanks in advance.

Can I stay overnight in Thailand? Reason I ask is my wife's passport is still in her family name rather than her married name. So would mean me going over the border with paperwork then back over to Thailand to wait till next day then obviously back over again to collect.
