Is border bouncing or visa runs an option for Indian nationals in Thailand?
Kool *******
I have a strong feeling the OP is not talking about a DTV. I suspect he is talking about a regular visa exempt entry, or an actual tourist visa.

@Alex ******
 believe what you want, and the statement you pay taxes has no relevance. I pay taxes too. In fact my wife is a licenced accountant.

Have you been paying your income taxes on the money you earn doing that, as they most likely will ask to see your tax returns?

Should I wait for a new passport before applying for a DTV in Thailand?
Kool *******
Fresh passport makes no difference, as they have your finger prints, and facial recognition for past reference triggering their computer system. Thailand is actually very modern now computer wise. A new passport makes no difference.

 with the only two options the OP listed, the type O based on Thai wife has a lot to do with it.

@Sarah *****
 no, it is not new. It is just that many businesses do not know how to deal with marriage extensions, as then they can't hold the visa extension as a threat if you don't work.
