I had to wait 5 minutes for a taxi to Bangkok.
This last time, from getting off the plane to getting into the taxi was 30 minutes.

I have not used "Fast Track" since Covid. What I do is:
If Immigration is packed, I try the second hall. Sometimes its empty.
If I go with a Thai lady, I go through the Thai passport lanes.

Posts: 142Fast Track at BKK
I have not traveled to BKK since prior to the pandemic. In the past, it seems like a lot of aircraft arrived between 11:00 PM and 1:00 AM which led to long immigration lines. Is this still the case? A friend mentioned using a "Fast Track" vendor to bypass all the long immigration / customs lines. Have any of you used this service? Do you think it's helpful or necessary when arriving late at night / early in the morning? Thank you.

Posts: 492Bangkok is a but disappointing, though I could be doing it wrong
Nana Plaza was a bunch of gogo bars. Just peaking in as I went by all seemed to be bikini bars except one topless. It was same on soi cowboy except I did step into a few bars. Maybe the topless are more hidden then just a cursory look. The sidewalks are jam packed with people. I like a bit slower pace. I like the pace of beer bars in Nakula and sois 7 and 8 in Pattaya. The ones I saw here were packed and didn't look, conducive to getting to know a girl. I'm staying in On Nut so the freelancers I saw walking weren't really going to work. Or maybe they would but I just don't understand the logistics. I don't have thai friendly so that might help if I had. I might get a closer hotel next week, or maybe a further one as I'd like to be close to a big market.
I'm going back to pattaya this weekend for a couple days if any regular would like to meet up, I'll buy the first round.

To avoid the line, there is an app called "QueQ", at least there was last year.

Thanks Mr. E. Found the site now to do it online. My girl can do it for me when I arrive since it's her condo. Also says if you're staying less then a month you don't have to worry about a TM30. Only if you want to extend your visa you better make sure someone submitted a TM30 for you.

Posts: 4512 different experience s getting 30 day extension within last 6 months.
1. Laksi. Ez peasy doc checker didn't give a Hoot about tm 30.
2. Jometiem. Doc checker wanted tm 30 filled out by appropriate person. In my case Hotel employee was OK. She wanted the whole form filled out. Not just the receipt ASEAN News usually says to get- the infamous screenshot they say.

Oh I hear what you are saying now. Is that really the case? What if my first hotel written on my TM-30 was in Bangkok and on my 28th day I'm in Phuket? Do I really need to go back to Bangkok and return to Phuket for the remainder of my trip? Pretty certain I can just go to the Phuket office.
