Answer summary
A US citizen reports a smooth entry into Thailand via Bangkok with their party of two, one for workation and the other for a Muay Thai experience. They provided their passports, TDAC, and DTV printout, completing the process in 90 seconds, noting the selective choice of a male immigration officer.
