TLDR : Answer Summary
Travelers have confirmed that it is possible to return the same day to Thailand from the Baen Laem border crossing. However, there may be a stronger push from officials for travelers to use an agent or service for same day visa runs. While individuals can manage this independently, they should be prepared for potential additional fees.

Based on personal observations crossing two separate visits at Baen Laem, these days they REALLY want you to use an agent/service for same day visa runs.

It is certainly possible to do it on your own, but be prepared to perhaps pay some unexpected extra fee(s).

YMMV - this is just what I observed.
