TLDR : Answer Summary

Several users shared their experiences regarding the Padang Besar border crossing with a DTV visa. One user mentioned a successful fast turnaround on a weekday without issues. Another user reported a warning from the border official not to return immediately; however, they waited three days and faced no problems upon their return. A third commenter is planning a similar crossing soon.

I just did it but the lady did warn me as I exited Thailand to not come back immediately so I left it for 3 days and then returned and I was stamped no problems at all.
