Print a couple of them. (Safety in numbers) Present the printout with your passport upon entry in Thailand. They will put a DTV entry stamp in your passport.

 The application fee is 10,000 Baht. Paid in Thai Baht. The nice thing is that they were giving the application fee back to those who were declined.
