Legally you can do that as long as you take the stuff you bought outside thailand within 60 days of purchase because DTV is a tourist visa.

@Netanel ******
yes it's a glorified tourist visa just that it has validity of 5 years and you can stay 180 days per entry at a strech without extension, and one extension per entry is permitted. Even thai elite visa is also a tourist visa.
