Thailand Travel Restrictions and Info
Re: Thailand Travel Restrictions and Info
I actually looked at DMK, but the only airline out of Phnom Penh that I could find was Thai AirAsia, which I don’t think I would ever fly.truffledog wrote: ↑Fri Nov 11, 2022 1:57 amI will be considering entering in a smaller INTERNATIONAL airport on my next visit if this situation persists.Kenr wrote: ↑Fri Nov 11, 2022 1:32 amFuck that.

Welcome to Thailand !Khaosod English
Arrival passengers at Suvarnabhumi International Airport today. Could the airport authority & immigration police try doubly hard to make them feel more welcome?
Visiting Thailand should be a hassle free experience.
Welcome to Thailand anyhow!
I am sure we will soon see some express immigration paygates where procedures are faster. Time is money.

Re: Thailand Travel Restrictions and Info
I've always wondered when I see this scenario or when I've experienced it myself when arriving whether it is down to either :CEOCambodiaNews wrote: ↑Fri Nov 11, 2022 1:15 am Posted on social media tonight.

A) Total incompetence by AOT & Dept of Immigration - they know the daily schedules and likely arrival numbers so have no excuses to plan accordingly, god knowns they've been at it long enough.
B) Some perverse idea that creating a situation showing queues of people eager to get in the country will give the impression that Thailand is mega popular and booming for tourism again.
OR
C) Total disregard and disdain for their mainly foreign paying customers and customer service, a case of wait your turn you're privileged to be even allowed into our country.
Whichever it is, for a country desperate to get tourists back and project a positive tourism message it's a classic example of failing at the first hurdle, and predictably shows some things will never change when incompetent authorities are in charge. Really they should make the PM, Minister of Tourism, Heads of AOT and Immigration join the back of that queue and get a feel for the welcome Thailand is giving new arrivals after so long and judge whether they think it's acceptable in this day and age.
Sorry for the rant but I've experienced that shit before and it's horrendous when you're coming off a long-haul flight knackered.
