Great I did Muay Thai 6 months. Total time was 4 days. When I reentered Thailand from BKK they stamped me in no questions asked. Didn’t need to print or show tdac (both normally show up in the system for them) however good to have it on you.

Thank You for your helpful report 👍

Congratulations 👏👏👏

PRINT OUT THE EMAIL THAT HAS YOUR DTV VISA.

That's what you should do... print it out.

You may have to show PROOF of your DTV Visa to airline staff on check-in for your flight ✈️ to Thailand...even to the connecting airline staff. Or to the land border crossing entry Thai Immigration Officer.

Upon arrival into Thailand, show the DTV visa to the Thai Immigration Officer and look at the STAMP placed in your passport to be sure you are STAMPED in for 180 days.

proof of relationship, i.e. birth certificate and parent's passport. Proof of current location, i.e. Laos entry, passport stamp. Though didn’t request it this time, they usually request custody paperwork as yes I am a fulltime single parent..Finally, please note, if you’re applying in Vientane, you pay for your application in-person in cash in Thai baht. It's 10k each.
