TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is concerned about obtaining a visa at the Thai consulate in Savannakhet after having made multiple visits in the past. Various comments suggest that while there is a possibility of receiving a warning stamp due to a history of multiple tourist visas, the decision ultimately lies with the consular officer. Ensure you have all necessary documents, including proof of funds, and note that the consulate may be closed on certain days, impacting visa applications.

Vientiane seemed like a tourist visa factory when I last visited.

When I was there, they seemed to just pile all applications into mountains. I saw no one rejected the next day.

Vientiane is hands down one of the busiest thai consulates in S/E Asia and probably does 2 or 3 times the number of applicants that any consulate does in a day.
It's because the don't require any proof of onward travel, proof of funds or proof of a hotel booking.

Remember the thai consulate in Savannakhet has been known to ask for proof of 20k baht in a bank account from some people when applying for a tourist visa.

Between May 2016 and January of this year, the consulate at Savannakhet have given me five T Visas and 1 Non-b Visa. I now have a new passport with no visible TV's. It has been a good run but there are no guarantees in the future. I'll be heading back there in 3 weeks, the baguettes are great in Savannakhet, and the Savan Phattana guesthouse (3 kms south of the consulate) is a favourite (300-400 bt a night).

To give you the visa and/or the warning stamp is the decision of the person in the consulate or embassy. You have to meet their requirements and file the papers. We can not guarantee that you will get a visa, we can only advice how to apply.

It wasn't clear from your post that's what you are doing since you put "I will be doing visa run again on 29th May". 🙄

With multiple tourist Visa's in your passport, back to back issued there is always a possibility that the Embassy or Consulate give you the warning stamp that next time you will be denied. Example of stamp:
