This convenient location benefits both sides.
Laotians mainly prefer crossing the border by boat to avoid the hassle of changing vehicles. The boat service between Thailand and Laos at Savannakhet runs 6 trips daily, almost every hour. The fare is 50 baht per person. If there are many passengers, additional trips can be arranged. Arriving before 3 PM is usually no problem. For travelers coming from Bangkok who want to cross the checkpoint directly, you can take a bus across. Read more about the Savannakhet border checkpoint here. During the low water season of the Mekong River in winter, the boat must detour around a sandbank in the middle of the river, which slows the trip but is still not slower than traveling by car.
However, during high water season, the boat can take a more direct route and quickly reach the Lao side. Recommended accommodations in Mukdahan.
