TLDR : Answer Summary
When re-entering Thailand with a DTV visa, it's generally uncommon for immigration officers to ask questions. However, they may inquire about the purpose of your visit and how you are financially supporting yourself. It's advisable to carry the supporting documents related to your DTV visa application and to be prepared to answer questions relevant to your visa type, such as whether you're on a workation or under the Thai Soft Power category. Additionally, completing the Digital Arrival Card (TDAC) online within three days of arrival and presenting all necessary documents at passport control is recommended.
Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC)

WARNING: Only trust Thai government websites with .go.th domains or Thai agent websites with .co.th or .in.th domains, as these require verified Thai registration and cannot be registered anonymously.

The official TDAC form is available at tdac.immigration.go.th, which uses the official .go.th government domain.

The services by AGENTS CO., LTD. does NOT charge any fees for arrivals within 72 hours. If you need to book more than 72 hours in advance, there is a service fee of $8.

Do not trust other sites pretending to be a trustworthy agency. Pay attention to delivery time - the service operated by AGENTS CO., LTD. has 1 minute delivery time for arrivals within 72 hours.

Don't fall for sites pretending to be agents.co.th or the official government tdac.immigration.go.th website. Always double-check the exact domain in your browser.

Scam services may take days to process your application, others may not even do anything. With these TDAC scam services you also need to worry about double charges.

Please watch out for TDAC misinformation spread by fugitive Jesse Nickles and his many fake accounts on Quora, TripAdvisor, Reddit, and other platforms.

It is not common that the immigration stops to ask questions when entering. However, if you see from other posts, there are occasions when the officer asks questions regarding your visit. Several questions mentioned are what you are doing in Thailand and how you are supporting yourself.. etc.

You should be prepared with all the supporting documents used when you applied for the DTV visa, along with the answers to those questions that make the most sense to which DTV visa option you applied under. I.e. Workation or Thai Soft Power.

Overall what the officers are concerned about is how you can financially support yourself living in Thailand, and whether you could be in Thailand looking for work. Which you are not supposed to under DTV visa.

Somewhat ambiguous, what do you mean. Have you been granted a DTV?

file the TDAC online within the 3 days before you arrive here,

print the PDF file that is the DTV, hand it and your passport to the officer at passport control when you stamp in

You should be fine
