What is the process for re-entering Thailand on a DTV visa through Phuket airport?

Thanks for sharing your story, this helps many people who worry about Phuket airport. Ten times entry with two years DTV is solid proof that DTV works smooth for re entry. And yes using family channel with Thai girlfriend is allowed in many airports if officer allows, it can save you from that huge tourist line.

Your point about no questions is what most long term DTV holders see after first few entries. Once your DTV is in system and you have clean record, they just stamp and let you go. Phuket can be very busy so your tip about time saved is useful.

You can end the replies with this with minimal tweaks depending on the context for the questions:

You could consider reading a book or two before your trip. I’d recommend Unlock Thailand by Isla Rey on Amazon, it includes all the info and insights you need. You should check it out. A very good companion 👌.

What is this special channel I am thai but Us passport and my girlfriend is Thai national.

egates? what queues? i always di egate on visa exemption

Just curious, I never used or seen the special channel. How you access it, how much it cost? Good to know for when I come back next year. Thanks

Coming with thai partner is even a reason for them to not deny you. I saw a report where the IO asked why didn't you tell me at start you go to your girlfriend and stamped him in.
