I’m retired Lao Air captain.  Did this many times as I commuted from BKK…if flights are on time, u walkoff airplane from savanakhet, get your luggage and go to counter to checkin for vte- bkk flight.  Then go upstairs and clear immigration to officially leave the country.

it only takes about 30 minutes to do all this.  Also advise staff in savanakhet that you require expedited assistance
