I arrived last night at 8pm.
The Immigration officials at the walkway to booths allowed me to use the diplomat entry booth. Only about 1 min , stamped in for 60 days.
No questions about anything , onward flight, 20K cash to show nothing at all.

If you are attempting to cause unease by suggesting all DTV holders entering Thailand post 31st August changes suffer delays caused by immigration interrogations the answer, as you can see from the reports, is no. Prior to 31st August there were no issues either (apart from the regular troll tales that is).

Yeah, I arrived Monday at 5 a.m. It took me maybe one minute to reach the immigration booth and 30 seconds to get stamped in. I only had to do the fingerprints and look into the camera. No questions asked.
