This one is back again, Was removed a duplicate but you apparently deleted most of what you wrote in the 2nd one so it has now been removed.

Many people arriving at the consulate to find a notice on the wall this morning saying they are closed for today as part of the Laos new year, on their website no mention of a holiday on the Monday, according to their website the Laos new year fell on Saturday,, I guess they've carried it through and taken the Monday off,,, pity they couldn't have advised of this more clearly and specified the closure on the 18th on their website

Savannakhet's website has the holiday schedule for last year. Best to use Vientiane's. http://vientiane.thaiembassy.org/en/embassy/calendar.php

A little late for that for me and a few others, but a good point for future,, cheers joe,,,

kinda defeating the purpose having a website for the consulate with holiday information on the website but looking towards another for the updates
