Can you activate a DTV visa by entering Thailand via a land border?
Has anyone entered the country via a land border on a DTV visa for the first time (aka "activating" the visa from via a land border)? I was wondering is it's hassle free, or one has to enter the Kingdom via air to have it activated for the first time. Thanks!

Yes done this and simple. Not sure why u think would need to enter via air

As above. Why not enter at the place that is most convenient for you?

A visa is a visa, and an entry is an entry. Where you enter doesn't matter. Though I would avoid Poipet if at all possible.
