Laos is a land locked nation. If you are talking about crossing the Mekong River than you can definitely return to the Thai side but depending on your visa or lack of one you may run into problems with immigration.

Yes you can. Bring a passport size photo, if paying in USD make sure the bills are immaculate and unmarked or they'll be rejected.
