TLDR : Answer Summary

Traveling to Mukdahan for a SETV (Single Entry Tourist Visa) may be challenging due to the stringent requirements at the Thai consulate in Savannakhet. Applicants need to provide proof of onward travel within 60 days, a bank statement showing at least 20,000 baht, and a hotel booking. An alternative option is to apply in Vientiane, where these proofs are not required.

I would say the thai consulate in Savannakhet (the lao province across the river from the thai province Mukdahan) is NOT the most user friendly thai consulate to pull a single entry tourist visa. They require all 3 of the proof of's

proof of onward travel within 60 day

proof of 20K baht in a bank account

proof of a hotel booking.

It'd be better if you went to Vientiane, as they require no proof of's at all

There are NO cheap R/t tickets to Vientiane that have good time points :/ Most make you stay an extra day or two.. :(

you can fly there, yes, but it is usually (substantially) cheaper to fly to Udon Thani (domestic flight) and then get a minibus only 1hr to the Laos border. You can get a cheap flight to Udon, often under 1,000B, from either Chiang Mai or Bangkok.

my husband was in Savannakhet last week and The Consular Officer were asking for updated bank statement from everyone. Some people with a visa history required all three items, newcomers only bank statement.
