Is it now possible to do a border bounce at Friendship BridgeIV (Huayxay Bokeo Thailand) on the same day? I realize this is often asked, but uncertain of current regulations...

I have made this run several times from Chaing Rai earlier last year, but have heard that later there was a mandatory 2 day stay on Laos side at some of the entry points.
Answer summary
The post inquires about the current regulations regarding same-day border bounces at Friendship Bridge IV (Huayxay, Bokeo, Thailand). The author has previously made this trip from Chiang Rai and is aware of recent changes, specifically a mandatory 2-day stay at some border points, which has been confirmed by a comment stating that only the Chiang Khong and Chiang Saen borders have such requirements.

The only border(s) that added the 2 night stay as far as I know was Chiang Khong and Chiang Saen.
