TLDR : Answer Summary

The consensus among users is that when doing a border run with a DTV visa, you do not need to present a TM30 form or a bank statement if you leave Thailand and return. The key requirement is to show the DTV stamp in your passport. Concerns about needing documentation stem from attempts to extend visas while in Thailand rather than for exiting and reentering the country.

Is there a limit if you are there on a retirement visa of how many times you can leave Thailand and return, say to take a weeks trip to Vietnam for example ?

When people do border runs stay a little longer, have a holiday.

It's so obvious when you max out your stay then goto Cambodia for 24 hours exactly. That's why they are looking for something to pull you up on. They know what you are trying to pull.

No need to show bank statement if you leave Thailand and return. Just show your DTV stamp.

sounds dumb, you just need a digital copy from your bank no stamp. It’s 2025 not 1925.
