Mrsquirall,
Fly to KK. Stay a night at Kaen Inn (500 baht a night). Go on a 5 minute walk to a tailor shop where I got a suit cut (jacket and 2 pants) for 6200-6600 baht (I forget). Done in 3 days. Good suits.
Then take a blue air con bus to Laos (station is 2 minute walk from Kaen Inn). Buses are cheap and comfortable and will take you right to Nong Khai ( a 50-60 baht tuk tuk ride to the border)-then get your Visa upon arrival.
Definitely hit Vientienne and eat Indian at 'Nazim' on the 'riverside'. Great and cheap. There is also a very nice, clean hotel, newly built or refurbished with aircon rooms for 400-600 baht (he'll knock a bit off the rpice if you opt out of the breakfast).
Pick up your finished suit in Khon Kaen on the way back.
While in KK be sure to grab a drink at 'Zolid Discotheque'..in the basement of the Charoen Thani hotel. Some saucy live acts and good fun. Go late. About 10pm.
