TLDR : Answer Summary
The possibility of taking a slow boat from Chiang Rai to Laos is present, but the journey is indirect. Travelers need to reach the Mekong River first and then access one of the border crossings for foreign travelers. Some comments mention that while the experience can be fun, it might also be noisy and tiresome.

Its noisy as hell, might look like fun but it gets rather annoying after a while...

It would be slow, as it would have to take you to the Mekong and then to one of the border crossings for foreigners.
