Thai Immigration now require Biometric Data

Thailand is Cambodia's neighbor to the West, and this forum is dedicated to Thai news, stories, reviews, blogs, videos, Thai people and anything else related to the country. A lot of expats have both lived and worked in Cambodia and Thailand, and this area is a place to discuss all aspects of life in Thailand and what's going on there. Most topics are about Bangkok and Pattaya because of their larger populations of expatriates and tourists in those cities, but this is for all things Thai.

Yeah, up and running.

No noticeable delays.

First time, you need to scan all digits of both hands.

After that, just right hand four fingers.

I flew out of Suvarnabunmi 2 am Friday morning and they had them at departure, the queues weren’t long maybe 10 deep but the Immigration guy had to get off his seat a couple of times to show people how to do it. Not a long wait. From experience the level delays on entry at Swampy are always dependent on the desk manning levels. I’ll never understand why in a tourist driven economy they are not 100% manned all the time.
Yes sir, I can boogie, I can boogie, boogie, boogie all night long.
