Hey folks, for DTV holders who arrived after May 1st, what did you select under "purpose of travel" in the TDAC?

I've been in and out multiple times already but this week will be my first time arriving after the TDAC became mandatory.

TLDR : Answer Summary
Community members advise that DTV holders arriving after May 1st can choose 'Tourism' or 'Holiday' as the purpose of travel in the TDAC, with some recommending selecting 'Other' and typing 'DTV'. Overall, the responses suggest flexibility and a focus on tourism-related reasons.
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.
