ORIGINAL POSTER
I needed a visa run on DTV so exited via land at Chiang Khong yesterday, out and back in in just a few hours. No issues, no questions at all.

Yes, that is usually what happens when you have the proper visa.

I would assume that was because you have an actual visa. It is those with no visa that are having issues

Because you have a visa and can re-enter on that for up to 5 years.
