Coming back into Chiang Mai for the first time on a DTV soft power studying Muay Thai. Has anybody been asked for documents, evidence of study or anything specifically by immigration at CM.
Answer summary
The general consensus is that immigration in Chiang Mai does not typically request documents related to soft power programs like the DTV visa for those studying Muay Thai. It's suggested to keep your TDAC updated and have your DTV printout readily available. Personal experiences indicate that while proof of funds may occasionally be requested, it is not a common occurrence.

I've been in and out of CNX over a dozen times last year and only got asked for proof of funds once in December (the 20k) but she didn't follow through and handed me my passport

Don't look homeless and/or stink of beer and you will be fine.

They don't really ask for soft power related documents at immigration.

Keep your TDAC updated and DTV print handy.
