ORIGINAL POSTER
DTV Update from CNX today 9/5 noon.

There were 2 international flights that arrived together.

The lines were pretty short and I waited 5 minutes.

The IO looked at my DTV and stamped me in for 180 days. He asked no questions.

Customs was closed and the bags came out quickly.

Easy peasy!

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user shared their recent experience at Chiang Mai Airport (CNX) with the DTV visa. They reported a fast process, with a wait time of only 5 minutes for immigration clearance. The immigration officer stamped their DTV visa for 180 days without asking questions, and customs procedures appeared efficient, despite a comment about customs never being 'closed'.
