As I came alone I took the mini bus to Ubon and then up to Mukdahan. Total cost 240 baht. Parking is available at the border for 200 baht a day if you prefer to drive .
3rd in line at the consulate at 7 am , doors open a 9. I was done by 9:15 and the line was long when I left.
I return at 1:30 to pick my passport and 1 yr multiple entry visa. 5000 baht.
Savanakhet is quieter than 4 years ago, with many of the bars and coffee shops shuttered. COVID travel restrictions did a number on the businesses that relied on tourists. My hotel had only myself and two Chinese staying in it. The rate per night had dropped from 500 baht to 360 but the internet was shyte and the cable tv didn't work.
There is a new night market that is very nice in the old town and Savanakhet has not lost any of it's charm or friendliness.
A tall bottle of the best beer brewed in Asia is roughly 30 baht
