Has anyone here with a DTV recently visited Cambodia and back to Thailand? Did IO give you a hard time coming back in due to the conflict? Just wondering...
Answer summary
Recently, several individuals with DTV visas shared their experiences about traveling to Cambodia and returning to Thailand. Most reported no issues upon re-entry, despite some heightened tensions due to regional conflicts. One person noted they faced extensive questioning by immigration in December, coinciding with a spike in conflict, while others had smooth experiences, receiving their 180-day stamps without any complications. There were also comments regarding specific areas, like Phuket, which some travelers found to be more strict.

Phuket is more "annoying". No direct flight anyway

I think the paranoia has eased a little, but avoid Phuket as they are zealots

I faced a lot of questions from the Thai immigration officer last December however the war had just kicked off again the previous evening so tensions were high, just be polite and answer everything and you’ll be fine.

No issues what so ever. I entered 3 weeks ago, coming on a flight from Siem Reap. Got my 180 days stamp.
