TLDR : Answer Summary
The visa run at Chiang Saen currently requires only one overnight stay, while recent reports indicate that Chiang Khong has reverted to a two-night stay requirement. Additionally, for Chiang Khong, travelers may need a flight ticket out and a condo contract.

 If you do a 4200 Baht visa run from CM, then you don't need anything and come straight back. No nights out, no Flight ticket and no Condo contract. Met some of those border bouncers today

The same. But very recent reports state that Chiang Khong is back to 2 nights while Chiang Saen is still just one night.

 Yes. 1 Night in Laos at Chiang Saen or 2 nights in Laos at Chiang Khong. But I've heard reports that "Chiang Mai Visa Run" can get you in and out same day at Chiang Khong.
