Laos charges me $40 for a VoA, so I'm not going to just turn around and come back. I will get my money's worth by having lunch in Vientiane and then returning

Just take a flight out for a enjoyable weekend in say HCMC, then no problems. If you can afford a DTV & B500k in your savings account (unless drained to B1.00)you can afford a short hop weekend break  🤷🏾‍♀️

If you have a couple of days to spend outside, that's ideal and no need to worry when you return next day or in 2 days. Otherwise, it depends on specific border. That's the truth. Even if someone tell you otherwise, you can't present that as a claim on border. So, better safe than sorry.

If you got a Visa, why are you worried so much?

Extra scrutiny might be a valid and genuine passport, a copy of your DTV, the TDAC and they might ask to show 20k or equivalent currency in Cash.

So be aware that the Immigration Officer is allowed to talk and ask something, it is part of their job.

Hey mate read my post on this page and understand your DTV. You shouldn't have any issues at the border if you satisfy the regular tourist requirements for entry into Thailand, but because of the DTV you are unlikely to be scrutinized.

Last year I did a 6 hour border bounce to Singapore direct from CNX (I was meeting a mate transiting through Changi) and had no issues coming back in to CNX.

Where are you living in Thailand?

What is your passport nation?

There are many posts of border hops Inc same day. Overwhelming majority have no probs.

Doing a bounce is just going to unnecessarily raise the chance of scrutiny. A brief 4-7 day trip is an opportunity to see somewhere else in the region.
