We got our stamp. The red light came on and a man came and took our passports away to check our DTV was valid.
Then came back to us and gave us a stamp within 5 minutes
For anyone with a messy passport I have 12-13 months of tourist stamps and 2 border runs and 3 extensions in 2025.
Also an ED visa from 2022
All good and no questions or asked to show any documents

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user described their recent entry into Thailand via Bangkok airport, where they received a stamp without any issues, despite having a passport with multiple tourist stamps and visa extensions. They noted a quick process, taking about five minutes after a passport review. The comments from other users shared similar experiences, some expressing concerns based on previous warnings, while others affirmed a smooth entry process as well, suggesting that many travelers comply with the regulations without issue.
I am sure most of the complainers are those who do not correctly comply. All countries have rules and limits - try getting into US or UK!! Accept what you have to do - and don't abuse the system. Pay what you have to or go elsewhere rather then making it hard for regular travellers.

Well done, Anonymous, for being lucky with entry, but that doesn't mean others with the same visa history can also get through smoothly.

Why wouldn't it be smooth? The DTV is exactly what they want to see from a person who has stayed too long with tourist stamps

Anonymous participant 820 exactly, i have seen many videos on social media saying that they got a warning and was told to apply for DTV before next entry

Anonymous participant 820 probably a salty agent no longer profiting from visa runs

Did you have 20k cash that's such a hassle carry around
i had 2000thb cash 2days ago when i did laos landborder run 😆 and 1880 of that went to visa and stamp fees 😜 but I do have bangkok bank, i can show if they ask, but i have never been asked during 4,5years and about 20 entries
Non puoi mostrare proprio niente, la legge dice solo il corrispettivo di 20.000฿ in contanti.

k but more than that in my bank. No one asked us anything about money. Just took our visa paper away to check and came back to stamp

Anonymous participant it's a stupid rule and it must be cash. Immigration can't just deny you for no reason so if they really want to be a dk that's the number 1 reason they give.
Kefin Heart i know thats a common way, but I believe the immigration officer who gives me the stamp, more than someone on facebook

Anonymous participant imo its jealous people who cant get dtv, trying to bs about it
If you have money and a pulse you can get a DTV so I don’t think there’s many people who are jealous.
