What are the benefits of using DTV or DTAC for entry into Thailand from Laos?

Back through DMK from a 3 day trip to Laos on a DTV. Got fast track service, skipped the normal immigration line and went to the sideline with a female IO. Stamped in for 180 days. Didnt ask for TDac nor DTV.

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user shares an experience of re-entering Thailand through DMK airport after a trip to Laos, receiving a 180-day visa stamp without being asked for DTV or TDac. Comments question the absence of TDac and mention DTV being cheaper.
Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC)

WARNING: Only trust Thai government websites with .go.th domains or Thai agent websites with .co.th or .in.th domains, as these require verified Thai registration and cannot be registered anonymously.

The official TDAC form is available at tdac.immigration.go.th, which uses the official .go.th government domain.

The services by AGENTS CO., LTD. does NOT charge any fees for arrivals within 72 hours. If you need to book more than 72 hours in advance, there is a service fee of $8.

Do not trust other sites pretending to be a trustworthy agency. Pay attention to delivery time - the service operated by AGENTS CO., LTD. has 1 minute delivery time for arrivals within 72 hours.

Don't fall for sites pretending to be agents.co.th or the official government tdac.immigration.go.th website. Always double-check the exact domain in your browser.

Scam services may take days to process your application, others may not even do anything. With these TDAC scam services you also need to worry about double charges.

Please watch out for TDAC misinformation spread by fugitive Jesse Nickles and his many fake accounts on Quora, TripAdvisor, Reddit, and other platforms.
