Do I need to carry my visa approval letter every time I re-enter Thailand after getting an eVisa stamp?

I was stamped in yesterday for a year. Since there is no longer a visa sticker in my passport, does it mean that I need to show the visa approval letter every time I come back, or is all the necessary info now in the system for the next arrival?
Answer summary
When entering Thailand with an approved eVisa, it's essential to carry a printed copy of your eVisa PDF. This serves as proof of your valid visa, even if the information is available in the system. Always having this document can prevent potential issues during passport control or airline check-in.

When you have approved eVisa, you need to have your eVisa PDF (not the email) on paper every time you enter Thailand. Even if the information is on the system, it's your proof that you have a valid visa. You need to show it at passport control, also at the airline check-in.
