Sharing a quick experience for anyone entering on DTV with a new passport:

• DTV visa stamp in old passport

• Handed both passports to the immigration officer and mentioned visa DTV is in old passport.

• Questions asked:

1. How long are you staying?

2. What is the purpose of using the DTV? (I answered "workcation")

~ No extra documents were requested but I had onward flight and accommodation details ready just in case.

It took several minutes at the counter which was expected, but smooth process overall.
Answer summary
The experience of entering Thailand on a DTV visa with a new passport generally involves presenting both the new and old passports to immigration. One traveler reported being asked about the length of stay and the purpose of the DTV, which they specified as 'workcation.' It was noted that no additional documents were required, but having onward travel and accommodation details ready helped. A comment from another traveler indicated a slightly different experience where the immigration officer did not ask for the old passport or intended stay, but requested clarification on the purpose of their visit, which was also related to remote work.
