Is it normal not to need an entry card when arriving in Thailand with an Elite visa?

Recently, some travelers have observed that entry cards (TM6) are no longer required upon arrival in Thailand, specifically at Suvarnabhumi Airport. This change seems to be a temporary measure that was implemented a few months ago due to efficiency improvements in the tracking system. Travelers have confirmed that they were not asked to fill out entry cards at both entry and exit points. This situation has led to discussions about the practicalities of entry cards, with some travelers expressing hope that this change will remain permanent. It's noted that having an Elite visa may also contribute to not needing the entry card.
