Have there been any updates on the requirement to stay in Laos over night when doing a border bounce? I'd be heading over from Chiang Mai.

Answer summary

Yes, there have been updates regarding the overnight stay requirement for border bounces from Chiang Mai to Laos. Currently, both Chiang Saen and Chiang Khong require travelers to spend one night in Laos.

The last news I saw was that both Chiang Saen and Chiang Khong are now 1 night required in Laos. For a little while Chiang Saen was requiring 1 night while Chiang Khong required 2, but then Chiang Khong switched down to 1 night as well.
