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.

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 😅
