DTV Visa Visa Re-entry Border Crossing Kawthaung Ranong Tourist Visa Visa Rules

ORIGINAL POSTER

I am in the middle of my first 180 days on my DTV visa.  As I will be in Ranong area in the next month, I am thinking about going over the border at Ranong/Kawthaung and getting stamped in again.  I know tourists are border-bouncing and getting visa-exempt entries at that border.  I'm not sure if a DTV entry (with 180 day stamp) is also possible at Kawthaung: does anyone have experience with this?

Yes it works, my friend did it just a few weeks ago there. In any case, in Ranong they only stamp you out if they are also willing to stamp you back in.
