Has anyone recently had any difficulties or bad experiences entering Thailand via the Nongkhai border? I've read mixed reviews in the past and just wanted an update. I am a British citizen with a DTV visa.
Answer summary
Many users have recently reported smooth experiences entering Thailand through the Nongkhai border, particularly for those holding a DTV visa. A user indicated a lack of problems when crossing the Friendship Bridge, while others noted that previous issues stemmed from stricter regulations affecting tourists and those without proper visas. As of now, DTV visa holders do not appear to face the same challenges.

Just went through the friendship bridge had no problem
The bad reviews are last 2 years or so due to heavy crackdown from visa exempt / tourist visa. Which mean that Nong Khai often prevent people from leaving that border. They will turn you away if you don't have a proper visa to come back. They had to do too many denial entries so now they don't let you leave. This does not apply to DTV.
