TLDR : Answer Summary
When arriving in Thailand with a DTV (Digital Thailand Visa), the essential paperwork you need to present at passport control is your printed DTV visa (the PDF emailed to you) and your passport. Some travelers also recommend having your boarding pass handy. While there are suggestions for other documentation like proof of accommodation or cash, the primary requirement is the DTV visa printout and your passport.
Big sign in Suvarnabhumi airport last week . Show printout of Evisa.

when i arrived i handed over my passport/DTV print out and boarding pass, she was very happy and told me to bring the print out every time on future travel......it's easy for them to just scan from the printout using barcode......as an IT specialist i would never allow any Electronic device close to my computer system for security reason.....

Adnan Khairi Thank you. I can see why they would want to scan the bar code each time.

Adnan Khairi Ah, they just scan the barcode on my screen.
Hello. Once the passport has been stamped on first time of entry with DTV stamp. Would I be right in assumming. That subsequent re entries. I would not need to produce the visa print 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.
Hello. Thank you. Would you know for example. If I left Thailand just before 180 days, each time. And everything being done by the book. Eg I have reported to immigration with regards to 90 days reporting. Would the 90 day reporting be able to be carried out on line on each subsequent re-entry. Upon receiving a new 180 day stamp of stay…..
in theory yes 😅 though we’ve all seen the reports of being questioned at passport control & being asked ridiculous amounts of questions, such as;
“Why didn’t you apply in your home country, why in Cambodia, Laos, etc”
“Can you show your paperwork you used for your application”
So whilst, you shouldn’t be asked for anything - I’d advise having the paperwork used for your application, at least saved to a device which you have access to at all times, just incase - they want to make your life a little harder as you enter.
****
you should be fine however, with no questions at all :)
can't argue with that, I also think they target people who were milking free stamps to live here before jumping on the DTV band wagon AND they seem to be targeting specific nationalities more than others 😮
Anonymous participant 747 not to be discussed here, sorry

Anonymous participant 747 not appropriate to list them here, but there are some that have a reputation for being disruptive in some tourist areas when affected by alcohol or drugs; and others that are disrespectful of Thai culture and Thai people
it's a wise decision to have with you the documents you submitted with your DTV Visa Application. Just in case of questions from Thai Immigration Officers upon arrival into Thailand.
