TLDR : Answer Summary
The post is about a US passport holder planning to stay in Chiang Rai and do a border run at Chiang Saen. One commenter advises that as long as the trip is to Laos and not Myanmar, the border run should be fine, but it's crucial to ensure that the individual hasn't already completed two land entries under visa exemption this year.

As long as your plan is to cross into Laos and not Myanmar, you should be fine.

Also if you're planning on re-entering visa exempt then you just need to make sure you haven't already done 2 land entried by visa exempt this year.

no, I just wanted to make you aware of potential issues that are relevant to all border crossings. You might be able to find the border crossing you want to use on Google maps and see if it has any reviews.
