Thailand coup: Lao - Thailand border closing?

Thailand coup: Lao - Thailand border closing? - Two Water Buffalos

As martial law has been established in Thailand, is it possible that frontiers with neighboring countries (like Laos) would be closed to tourists?

We heard rumors about a possible closing, but I have been able to find very little information about this, confirming only this for Lao citizens.

Officially, crossing the border is not prohibited to foreigners, but even if it would be authorized to cross the Friendship Bridge anyway, is it a good idea to go there now as security measures must be drastic?
