My missus uses the auto scan Thai queue. I came through non Thai. Obviously depends on the IO. It was also a new visa from HCMC.

as long as you have the supporting documents you used for the visa with you you will be OK. I came back into DMK with a Non-O based on marriage and they wanted to check all the paperwork and even interviewed my wife. It was the first time I had entered with that visa and I got it in HCMC. I don't know why they grilled us. I have never had a problem with other visas (Tourist before) after about 10 minutes at the desk, checking documents and my wife's ID card twice, they let me in.

People with Business , Spouse ,Education visas and/or extensions rarely have trouble. Its people on back to back tourist visas and visa exemption that get scrutinized. Ive used an O visa/extesion for 3 years and never had an issue at any airport here including DMK 3 times. Thai immigration has granted you a B visa allowing you to enter for business purposes. Relax buddy. Walking through passport control sweating about it will only draw attention. 😉
