What are the current rules for leaving Thailand for DTV holders every 6 months?

The rules for DTV holders performing a border run every six months remain largely unchanged. Recent experiences indicate that border crossings, such as through Chiang Khong, are generally smooth provided all necessary documentation is in order. Travelers have successfully completed same-day trips to Laos with no issues, as long as they demonstrate a consistent travel pattern. It is important to carry the appropriate paperwork for both the passport and the vehicle to avoid complications at the border.
