TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is concerned about printing their 60-day tourist visa upon arrival in Bangkok due to UK bank holidays. While some suggest that the visa should ideally be printed out, others mention that electronic copies displayed on phones are accepted at immigration. Some users offered experiences where they faced similar situations and managed to enter Thailand without issues, indicating that the system is likely updated electronically and that immigration officers can pull up the visa if necessary.

Are you flying direct? If you have a stopover somewhere and the visa has arrived, get it printed at your transit airport

You can only try. If absolutely worse comes to worse just enter on 30-day visa exempt, then at the end of the 30, do a border bounce and activate the TR when you re-enter

Absolutely that's an option, and you still have the TR visa up your sleeve if you want to stay even longer. So you could in effect get five months stay, with just one border bounce. And you wouldn't be questioned at all

On the Thai side it's Aranyaprathet. It's probably the worst land border to attempt a bounce. You could well be sent to Siam Reap to get a flight back.

Depending on border, but most it's an out and back in, especially Laos land borders.

If you can't find anywhere to print it, it will be an annoying pain in the ass to you and everyone in line behind you, but they'll probably accept you showing it on your phone.
