Not Telling
The Translations do not need to be stamped by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Just a stamp by an Official Translator/official (who most translation companies will be able to provide). I know as I just recently applied and received a UK passport for my English/Thai daughter and didn't go near MOFA.
However this might not be the case if you are registering the Birth at the same time. I have not registered her birth just applied for and got the passport. By all accounts registration is pointless.

...There was about 400 applications that day, busiest I've seen it and I've been a few times. They started turning people away once the ticket machine ran out.
I've been there too and that's not true. Once the ticket machine and the ticket system broke, they wrote numbers by hand. It were more then 500 numbers. They didn't send anyone home.
As some here still tell people to go back by tuktuk or taxi to the border: opposite the morning market is the bus station. Just ask for the Laos International Bus Line. They drive several times a day straight from Vientiane to Nong Khai (50 Baht), to Udon Thani (about 80 Baht; 2pm, 4pm and 6pm) and to Kon Khaen (180 Baht).
It is true, you have to bang on the door to get hand written ticket numbers, they did the written tickets for a little while but there was no consulate staff waiting there to hand them out. The people cutting in at the windows asking for numbers where being turned away on Monday. Unless 'too late, comeback tomorrow' means something else.
