Posts: 1207Some General Questions for expats.
I'd rather ask guys over here who are like-minded, rather than on one of those tourist TwerP boards. I got a hundred and fifty days to go before I leave for a six-month trip, just a few general questions for guys in the ground.
When I go for my visa extension, because I'm coming in on a s e TV do I do that as soon as I get to town, or do I wait until the end of my visit. Is immigration being okay to a guy with a brand new clean passport, no visit since 2015, self-supporting and clean cut with a hidden gutter crawl inside? Similarly, I assume the place to go for my next single entry would be Vientiane, or is it different Embassy the favorite. I'll leave for a couple of weeks at the end of my first 90 stay to go to Laos and Cambodia or even Burma if that's a good place to go.
As to the crackdown, Arecfolks carrying your actual passports in Bangkok itself, or just a photocopy okay. I also have a passport card. I'm not going to be in the red light district very often. I don't drink at all. So I don't get into any trouble.
Just out of curiosity, if you've been staying in Bangkok for a while, what are your districts of choice.

Posts: 413Does Thaniland getting less visitors these days?
On 8th April my flight landed at 4.30 pm. I get surprised we few are from other countries in the Que for immigration other than Chinese groups. Why the hall is full of Chinese!
On 14th April 2.00 pm got the Que in front of immigration on way to manila. It was same the hall was full of Chinese groups. Couple of times my Que immigration officer stand on his chair and warned to some Chinese ladies just to shut the mouth. Too much noise. Citizens from other countries are not much. And we passed the immigration like a breeze.
On 30th April 5.00 pm arrived Suvarnabhumi again from Manila. Just the repeat of other days. No crowd, less visitors than I seen before. Short Que and smooth passing the immigration.
On 8th may passed out BKK. Nothing to surprise we just breezed out the immigration and what the hell the hall was full of Chinese visitors.
The bottom line: What happened to Thailand! Does the visitors getting less these days?

All other dozens of times it took anywhere between 10 and 30 minutes I think. No reason for me to spend 900 Baht on a express service. That's almost a ST.

Posts: 18Immigration Lines.
I have been to Thailand about 40 times over the past 15 or so years, and while I never have been able to clear immigration in 5 minutes I can say from my experience if I can get through in 15 minutes or so I feel like I have done good. I have felt the pain of being in line well over an hours quite a few times. I do think the time of the day plays a large part of it as with the staffing levels at the immigration desks.
I have noticed that if I come in on a flight from say Singapore during the morning the lines do seem to be shorter. However if I am arriving on a flight that comes in later in the evening when several flights that contain a larger percentage of westerners the lines do take a lot longer to move. With all that said I would not discount what any BM says as his experience could be legit. Just because others haven't experienced doesn't make it not true. Just my two cents.
