After being in this group for awhile. I've noticed something hilarious.

Positive DTV post - barely any interactions

Negative DTV post - lots of interactions and comments. People starting to assume and fear monger. I've entered Thailand on dtv without any issues. I follow all the immigration rules.

Now of course there will be outliers who get denied entry it visa application, but for those very few majority of people do grant entry and dtv. So don't automatically assume and fall into hysteria thinking thinking the worst
