Hi there! 

It’s my first time leaving Thailand on DTV. Can I go and comeback in the same day? Or maybe 1 day later? Anyone has done that ?

TLDR : Answer Summary

Yes, you can leave Thailand on a DTV visa and return the same day or the next. Multiple commenters confirmed that there are no restrictions on the duration of your exit as long as you maintain the conditions of your visa, which allows for re-entry as long as it is within the five-year validity, requiring only a six-month exit between entries.

You can just walk across the border and back again lol the visa validity is five years with a requirement to exit every 6 months. You won't have to explain your reasons for re-entering if you have five year validity on the visa
