Answer summary
Yes, you can do a same day run to Laos and return to Thailand to obtain another 45-day visa exemption. There are no time restrictions for being outside of Thailand, and you can perform this border run twice in a year, though it's noted that certain locations like Koh Somet may have restrictions.
