I've been in Thailand since February this year (did the 6 month extension). My previous history before getting the DTV had me stopped and questioned every single entry for a couple of years. 

Just left for a week to go to Hong Kong and back. They barely even looked at me at immigration when I came back, just stamped me in and waved me on.

Answer summary
