ORIGINAL POSTER
Entered Thailand at BKK and was admitted effortlessly with my DTV printout that was laminated. Stamped and official. Thanks to those here for the help along the way. It made a difference.

TLDR : Answer Summary
The post describes a user's positive experience entering Thailand using a laminated DTV printout. They appreciated the seamless admission process and thanked the community for their support. Comments from others suggest that lamination may not be necessary since some officers might scan the printout without needing the laminated version.

I didn’t laminate which for good because the officer folded my printout and only used the area with barcode to scan into the machine. So no lamination doesn’t many any difference 😅
