TLDR : Answer Summary

The cost of a Laos visa is approximately 1,500 baht or around 30 to 35 USD, depending on your nationality. In Savannakhet, Thai baht is widely accepted at shops, hotels, and other establishments, although some may give change in Lao kip. It's advisable to carry enough Thai baht and, if possible, some USD to avoid issues with currency exchange.

and seeing as last time I checked this was the THAI visa advice group, not the "i'm going to get a thai visa in another country what does it cost to get in there" group, we are done..

just remember make sure take enough thai baht with you, or other currency as I struggled to find a atm, if there was any? most places will take thai baht but try to give you back loas kip remember this is a worthless currency outside loas and cant be exchanged so try to get rid of it if you can and don't go changing to much. around the embassy I found they give you change in thai baht which is good. but id get 35 usd for the visa as it works out a little more expensive if you pay in other currencies. but that's up to you. I might be there Tuesday im just waiting on my paperwork to apply for the same visa but the wife hasn't brought her taco ban or what ever its called to Bangkok so depending on post from korat. may see you there.

The best questions about Thai visa, but: a Laos visa cost 1.500 Thb or 35 usd. You can pay in Laos in Laos kip, Thai Baht or usd but shops do have a nice exchange rate, a bit more profit for them
