Hi,my question to you People is: IF I do a border run,let say Laos or Vietnam , entering Thailand do I still have to do TDAC form again?

Answer summary

When re-entering Thailand after a border run, you are required to fill out the TDAC (Thailand Departure and Arrival Card) form again. This is necessary because the TDAC is specifically an entry card that must be completed each time you enter the country.

It's an entry card. If you enter thailand you fill it in. The clue is in the word "arrival".
