What would be the point of having a multi entry visa if they're going to question you every time you come in?

Yes. No problem. Technically I did the border run at like 5 months due to chiang mai burning season. No questions asked. Workcation. Not so worried either, I can always open my laptop to prove my situation. I don’t think you have to worry unless you’re saying soft power and not actually doing what you said you would.

... Why don't you fly back to your home country and then come back here ?... Why do you like Thailand so much ?
... How long do you want to stay in Thailand this time ?
... Which soft power activity did you choose ?
... Do you enjoy Muay Thai and how often do you do Muay Thai per week ?
... where is the Muay Thai gym ?
... How far is the Muay Thai gym from your home ?
... How did you find the Muay Thai gym ?

@James *******
no definitely not. I just added some possible questions the officer could ask. Preparation is everything 🤗

They typically ask if you were the one who posted anonymously in the DTV group and why you were so concerned.
Anna *********
What questions do you expect to be asked? You have a valid visa you will be checked and stamped in

@Marb *******
no but having a DTV doesn’t guarantee questions

@Marb *******
coming from someone who couldn't even fill out their application correctly with their own birthday I'm sure you'd be the type to be denied 🤣
