Quick shout out to those who gave positive, helpful and constructive answers and advice, thank you! I hope my question helps others going forward.
As for the haters . . . well haters gotta hate! I hope your negative internet trolling brightens your otherwise pathetic, sad, sorry and lonely life. For some I think it's clear that you should consider that one-way ticket back to your country of origin!
self initiative is needed? What do you think I'm doing! All I'm trying to do is dot my i's and cross my tees for a drama free first/initial 90 day. Once this one is done I will be armed with everything I need to know for future reports!
I entered Thailand in December on DTV, I'm an Aussie as well, applied for DTV out of Sydney and arrived in DMK. No problems, no questions asked, straight through. The immigration officer did hit up the guy before me asking how ling his stay would be. Maybe you're just unlucky and you were the 'random' person they'd scrutinize.
