Hello my dtv visa is still valid, but my previous passport expired, so I returned to my home country. If I obtain a new passport, will I be able to travel back to Bangkok using my existing visa? Thank you

Your passport expired so you went to your home country? Why? You can get a new passport in Bangkok.

Yes just show both passports at immigration upon arrival and you’ll get stamped in on the new one.
