TLDR : Answer Summary
The process of doing a 90-day border run to Laos at Nong Khai seems to be relatively unchanged since 2019, with recent travelers reporting smooth experiences. Key considerations include the new cost of the Laos visa ($40) and the requirement to show proof of vaccination. Additionally, utilizing an e-visa may help avoid long lines. Several travelers confirm that the border crossing has been manageable, although some opted for flights due to personal circumstances. Overall, many users provided positive feedback about their recent experiences.

I'll let you know on Wednesday, I'm going tomorrow.
One of the people in my guest house went last week, said it was as easy as could be, even though it was a long day.

Best to have the 3 proofs in any case:
hotel booking for a few days & onward travel reservation within 45 days, & 20,000 thb or equivalent in $ £ € in CASH is needed.

Spellings off, I'm afraid: Pedantic "Jyrki" (sic) he is, innit? 🙃 555
Nong Khai to Laos is easy, me mate did it about 2 weeks ago; no issues on her border bounce after having stayed 89 days (60 day TR +30 extension in BKK)
45 visa exempt entry allowed with no fuss at all.
