TLDR : Answer Summary
Yes, you can take a bus from Chiang Mai to Chiang Khong for a border run. However, recent regulations indicate that you must spend 2 nights in Laos, show proof of having 10,000 baht in cash, and provide evidence of onward travel from Thailand within 60 days. Alternatively, there are agencies in Chiang Mai that can handle the border run for you, allowing you to bypass these requirements and return on the same day.
You can get a bus, but you'll be spending 2 nights in Laos. The paper they have been handing out says you must spend 2 nights in Laos, be able to show 10,000 baht in cash, and have proof of onward travel out of Thailand within 60 days.
Or you can use a border bounce agency in Chiang Mai and skip all of those requirements and be back same day.
