Hi, has anyone recently re-entered Thailand through Chiang Mai Airport (CNX) on a Muay Thai Soft Power DTV after a short border run?

Hi, has anyone recently re-entered Thailand through Chiang Mai Airport (CNX) on a Muay Thai Soft Power DTV after your original Muay Thai activity had ended?

I originally enrolled in Muay Thai in Bangkok, but that activity has ended, and I’ve since moved to Chiang Mai. I’ll be leaving Thailand September 7–9 and re-entering through CNX.

If your original Muay Thai activity had already ended when you re-entered, did Immigration question you about it or ask you to show proof that you were still training?

(I plan on re-enrolling but prefer to wait until I'm back)

I’m mainly looking for recent firsthand experiences at CNX.

Thanks!
