Why did you switch to a DTV visa in Thailand?
Genuinely interested. How many of you applied for a DTV because at some point immigration officers had told you that you are using too many visa exemptions? I'll start: I have never done anything forbidden, like working without work permit, but immigration officers told me twice that I should get a proper visa, after I had spend a lot of time in Thailand on visa exemptions. I have a DTV now, so that problem is solved.
