Is re-entering Thailand with a DTV visa problematic at Phuket Immigration compared to Bangkok?

UPDATE: decided to fly via phuket anyway as BKK flights added farcto much journey time. We had all the paperwork with us and 20k cash, we paid the 200thb for immigration fast track, no questions (interview room) this time. First time for a long while it was smooth. If we had a smooth re-entry despite the consistently issues before i think its fair to say anyone will be fine once you have activated your dtv (as long as you still meet the requirements if asked obviously).

There are a fair few posts/threads about Phuket Immigration grilling DTV holders on re-entry. We need to do our first DTV visa run. We have previously been grilled a few times and almost denied entry twice before getting the DTV, and then even grilled with the DTV, which is what they told us to get. We are fully compliant and can take all the docs, but are debating coming back via BKK instead to see if we can finally have a smooth entry without the interrogation or stress that comes with it.

To help make this decision, I wanted to ask the group 2 questions;

1. Has anyone with a valid/active DTV actually been denied entry?

2. Are other airports, such as BKK, actually smoother, or are people getting the same interrogation there, too?
