I am a freelancer holding worcation DTV, currently staying in Chiang Mai. I am coming up to my first 180-day and have already bought a round-trip ticket (CNX- a city in Vietnam- CNX). I am staying in Vietnam for 3 days.

What issues should I expect at CNX immigration when I return? Thank you in advance.
Answer summary
The conversation revolves around a freelancer's concerns about re-entering Thailand through Chiang Mai (CNX) after a trip to Vietnam on a DTV workcation visa. Responses indicate that travelers have had minimal issues at immigration, with most just needing to show their printed visa. It is also advised to carry copies of application documents, although some users reported no requests for additional documentation, such as bank statements or the TDAC form.

Went in and out for 2 times already and they just wanted to see the printed visa. You should still fit in the requirements though if they ask more questions.
