What do i need to show when arrive in Bangkok, just the DTV and TDAC certificates?
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.

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

Since the TDAC has been a thing I’ve probably entered 25 times and have never once shown it. Nor been asked for it
