What is the best way to do a border run from Chiang Mai if I can't fly?
Paul *******
What's your medical issue that you would be denied travel by plane? Anyway, go to Laos. The Cambodian and Burmese borders are closed (except for Mae Sai-Tachilek, which is open if you sign up for an expensive tour via a Burmese agency and get your visa through the Burmese embassy in Bangkok or the consulate-general in Chiang Mai).

What is the cheapest way for a DTV holder in Bangkok to make a border crossing?
Paul *******
@Ching **********
 Land is fine if you own a car...in many ways more exciting than flying, which is a form of public transportation. In any case, definitely stay out several days and return to Thailand using a different border crossing (I almost always do this).

What is the current immigration situation for entering Thailand from Cambodia with a DTV visa?
Paul *******
@Ray ****
 That is very reassuring. Thanks for sharing. What airport? Airline also if I may ask? My understanding is that Air Asia customers arriving into Don Muang are more likely to be questioned than passengers arriving on full service carriers into Suvarnabhumi.

@John ******
 I've tried sending you a PM but either you haven't seen it or it didn't arrive. Anyway, sorry to hear about what you went through. I suspect your length of stay in Cambodia as opposed to frequent entries is what concerned the IO.

Are foreigners coming into Thailand from Cambodia facing increased scrutiny due to security concerns?
Paul *******
The headline mentions Cambodians, not those coming from Cambodia as such, "hired mercenaries" and those coming in on visa exempt.

I expect Russians to be scrutinized as the news have been saying.

Those arriving from Cambodia have been randomly questioned since October but no biggie for the most part.

How was your experience entering Thailand on a Digital Nomad visa?

@Jam ******
 It's due to laziness...they should use the appropriate 180 day DTV stamp but some officers just write it in pen instead.
