You mean you have a type E visa from Cambodia, right? This is not an issue. DTV is specifically intended for people who travel regularly.

It will entirely depend on the rules of the particular thai embassy of that country , they all have different rules.

So if you want a useful answer from anyone you will have to provide more info
