I didn’t think you had to leave the country at 6 months? Simply extend within Thailand? Then the next 180 you have to leave (360 days)?

Yep, it is really annoying that Immigration Officers ask your passport, your DTV and above all the TDAC.

They should recognize you and just welcome you into Thailand.

People have reported to have had smooth entries at DMK.

There have been no recent cases of any stress related to stamping you in at DMK while entering with DTV.
