TLDR : Answer Summary
A user seeks information on the necessary paperwork and costs for obtaining a 60-day Tourist visa in Vientiane, Laos, after losing a job and work permit in Thailand. According to comments, he will need his passport, copies of the data page, 2 to 3 passport-sized photos (one for the Lao visa), and a completed application form from the consulate. The cost of the Lao visa is discussed, estimated around 1500 baht.

Visa cost ranges from $20 (China) to $42 (Canada) plus $1 'overtime' after 4pm. Sweden is $31, $35 for the USA, UK and most of Europe, $40 for India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka and $30 for Australia and other countries.

If you're gonna use USD make sure they're crisp notes otherwise they'll make you pay in baht.

The thai consulate in Vientiane is easily the most user friendly. All he needs is his passport, copies of the data page of his passport, 2 passport sized photos (3 really because you need one to get the visa for Lao) and the filled out application that you get for free at the consulate.

Eric, ALL of them are pretty user friendly IF you meet the requirements they have posted on their websites.

Vientiane is the ONLY one in S/E Asia that doesn't require any proof of funds, proof of onward travel or proof of hotel or lodging

Hong Kong, Savannakhet Lao, Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi, Penang are all okay IF you meet the requirements.

Umm, I believe you can't just drive your car into Lao without getting a car passport from the DLT before hand.
