Is it necessary to print visa documents when entering Thailand, or can I show them on my mobile?

I intend to enter Thailand with an approved visa. All my documents are scanned and not physically printed.

Could this be a problem when entering Thailand? Should I print everything? Or is it enough for them to be scanned and I can show them from my mobile if they ask?

TLDR : Answer Summary
The general consensus among users suggests that it's advisable to print your visa documents before entering Thailand. Several comments emphasize the importance of having physical copies, as one individual shared their experience of being required to email documents to an immigration officer at the airport. While you may have scanned copies on your mobile, carrying printed documents may help avoid potential issues.

In my case I had to email to the immigration officer all my documents while at the airport. It was in Phuket. I was carrying the e-visa printed out already but they asked me for that on the spot
