I first entered Thailand in September, completed my 90-day reporting, and left for Kuala Lumpur before reaching the 180-day limit. After spending two days there, I returned and landed at DMK today..immigration was smooth with no questions asked. My DTV has now been stamped for another 180 days.

Same as me after spending three days in Vietnam and flying back to BKK. I think it's only a small minority who have problems.
