There might be EXTRA concern for those coming into Thailand from Cambodia.

There are messages seen on Social Media about foreigners working for the Cambodia army/government to create unrest in Thailand.

It has nothing to do with your visa or that you travel a lot as DTV holder.

Answer summary
Recent discussions highlight heightened security concerns for travelers entering Thailand from Cambodia, stemming from social media reports of foreign involvement in unrest linked to the Cambodian military. While there are specific worries about certain nationalities, particularly those coming from Cambodia, reviews suggest that this doesn't directly affect visa types like the DTV. Some posts noted increased scrutiny and questioning for travelers, especially those with Cambodian connections.

The headline mentions Cambodians, not those coming from Cambodia as such, "hired mercenaries" and those coming in on visa exempt.

I expect Russians to be scrutinized as the news have been saying.

Those arriving from Cambodia have been randomly questioned since October but no biggie for the most part.
