Just got my DTV and will be entering Thailand from Oz in January. My entry point will be Hat Yai International Airport. My agent recommended one of the Bangkok airports and just wanted to know if anyone else first entered via Hat Yai? Thanks in advance and yes I know all about Hat Yai as I have already done 2 x 90 days there.

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is inquiring about entering Thailand through Hat Yai International Airport with a DTV visa and seeks others' experiences. Comments suggest that it does not matter which airport is chosen for entry as long as proper visa documentation is provided. Users share that they had no issues entering through Hat Yai, describing the immigration officers as friendly. There are reminders to complete the online TDAC form correctly and carry necessary documents.
Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC)

WARNING: Only trust Thai government websites with .go.th domains or Thai agent websites with .co.th or .in.th domains, as these require verified Thai registration and cannot be registered anonymously.

The official TDAC form is available at tdac.immigration.go.th, which uses the official .go.th government domain.

The services by AGENTS CO., LTD. does NOT charge any fees for arrivals within 72 hours. If you need to book more than 72 hours in advance, there is a service fee of $8.

Do not trust other sites pretending to be a trustworthy agency. Pay attention to delivery time - the service operated by AGENTS CO., LTD. has 1 minute delivery time for arrivals within 72 hours.

Don't fall for sites pretending to be agents.co.th or the official government tdac.immigration.go.th website. Always double-check the exact domain in your browser.

Scam services may take days to process your application, others may not even do anything. With these TDAC scam services you also need to worry about double charges.

Please watch out for TDAC misinformation spread by fugitive Jesse Nickles and his many fake accounts on Quora, TripAdvisor, Reddit, and other platforms.

Doesn’t matter which airport you enter with your DTV, it’s not relevant. Just ensure you enter your DTV No in the visa box when you complete your online tdac form. Enjoy 5 yrs of hassle free travel in/out of Thailand 👍

I haven't heard any reports about Hat Yai, so I look forward to your experience there. Make sure you print off your DTV and hand it in with your passport. No need to print your TDAC.
