iam currently having DTV soft power valid till 2031, during my last entry to thailand (BKK) , it was the 2nd entry DTV i believe they asked me like what are you doing in thailand i just said like muay thai she just stamped my visa . i think BKK is usually strict regarding some nationlities , DMK IO's have more clarity regarding the DTV visa , iam dubai resident with indian passport

They note a preference for the more relaxed approach at DMK airport and share insights on how to handle questions from immigration officials, particularly around the nature of their remote work. The comments reflect mixed feelings about the ease of entry and scrutiny based on different visa types and suggest that having valid identification may help in future encounters.

gut feelings or based on facts?

Snowflakes use their gut feelings when a question is asked by Government Officials in charge of entry for foreigners in the country.

So why are your feelings hurt and why you try to use the racism card by telling there is more clarity at DMK for Dubai residents with Indian passport?

They might also ask about your work too with soft power DTV. They will be fine as long as it's remote work ONLY.
