Booking was instant and also ticket received immediately
Nong Khai to Vientiane, Train #133 Class 3 Fan, Thai Railway (การรถไฟแห่งประเทศไทย), Feb 19, 2025

Left early for us as we were the only ones to book. Reception was friendly and spoke good English. There was another waiting for us when we made it over to the Laos side despite how long it took to get past Laos border control

Simple and no problem. Just make sure you have enough cash to cross the border, getting to and using the atm at the border is just unnecessarily stressful
