Heads up anyone fixin' to use the Thai consulate in Savannakhet for visas this month. FWIW: it's the same dates in Vientiane as well.
(I know it doesn't show the 26th as a day they're closed and right now that's just an in-country holiday) BUT if I was a betting man I'd bet they'll announce it shortly for both Vientiane and Savannakhet. (If when they do I'll post back)
Here's the signage posted stating the days they're closed.
