The only problems you will face are those related to visas/permissions to enter. Thai should have no problem entering Lao as there is free travel in ASEAN countries for ASEAN citizens. You will be treated seperatly when crossing borders. Make sure you have valid Lao visa each time you want to cross their border, and are covered for entering Thailand multiple times. In hotels etc you'll have no problem.

Thanks .Did read one thread of Thai girl(traveling with farang boyfriend)jumping out of car when approaching Lao police, hiding ,getting back in car when police were passed, must`ve thought she`d be mistaken for a Laotion girl,or she was a villan.Farang was mystified but didn`t question local custom.
Would you recomend any other places of interest along this route.Thanks again
