Just flew into Phuket on a new SETV. Straight through, no questions asked. Perhaps a better option than DM airport for some?

WAY better option than either of the two airports in Bangkok that's for sure.

How many back to back or recent Thai visas have you been on...??? As a reference point for others.

ORIGINAL POSTER
3-4 tourist visas, a few multi-entry non-b, then visa exempt, and now SETV. So not a lot of back to back tourist visas over the last few years, but consulate did question me a lot about working when I applied for the tourist visa as they flicked through my passport. Immigration at Phuket didn't care at all.
