We had the same question yesterday, i guess you have more chance to find the answer in a Chang Mai group as from there the most runs are made. If you have the answer, please update us.

Why do you ask? Do they want to stay longer because they can't leave because of that virus?

I don't think Mae Sai let's chinese nationals bounce out and back in at that border for a new 15 day visa on arrival. BUT I am not sure.
