TLDR : Answer Summary
When arriving in Bangkok, you will need to present your DTV certificate and passport. Although the TDAC is processed digitally and should be available in the immigration system, it is advisable to have a printout or screenshot of the TDAC on your mobile device just in case. Additionally, it's recommended to check that you receive the correct entry stamp for 180 days. Some travelers also mention that you may be asked for a return ticket confirmation or boarding pass.
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.

You'll sometimes be asked for a return flight reservation/confirmation and the boarding pass for your incoming flight.

not on a DTV. We get 6 months per entry and it’s not required to have an onward ticket in half a year.

have a printout of your DTV at hand, along with your passport. Once they have scanned your passport, they will see you got a TDAC. It is good, however, to have a screenshot of the TDAC in your mobile. And don't forget: When you get your passport handed back, immediately check if you got stamped in correctly for 180 days (sometimes they stamp people in wrongly)

no. You print it and bring it as the signage says to prepare it. Unless you're stupid enough to provide reasons for scrutiny

CopperElk5611 so what that's telling you is you may be asked to show proof. Either a printed copy or QR code. It advises a printed copy in case of a problem with your device. So this goes to show to can be asked
