I assume you checked the TV screen and the other ramp was even worse?PSD-Kiwi wrote: ↑Tue Feb 07, 2023 2:19 pm Arrived at BKK couple hours ago from PNH, 8.5hr transit so thought I'd head out for a feed and a few beers as I've done in the past....got to Passport control and decided to scrap that idea, queues were all the way down the ramps and stretched for at least 100m back, then noticed a sign saying "approximate wait time 1 hour +".
Re: Thailand Travel Restrictions and Info
Yea checked both....couldn't be assed, if I still smoked I probably would have. Just walked past a few minutes ago and queues are much shorter now, too late to risk it though.

The Qatar lounge at BKK is in a league of its own. Afaik no way of getting in other than holding a revenue-earning ticket.PSD-Kiwi wrote: ↑Thu Feb 09, 2023 3:53 pmWent to the Qatar Airways lounge but they were closed, redirected to Miracle lounge which is free for QA silver and above members, not a bad wee loungearmchairlawyer wrote: ↑Tue Feb 07, 2023 3:30 pmI get access to the Oman Air lounge for $20 a pop.

@armchairlawyer , yep, have to be either Gold, Platinum or traveling Business or First Class for the QA lounge, and they're not open 24/7, only open 3 times per day for appx 3 hours each time.

Re: Thailand Travel Restrictions and Info
looks like its aa done deal:::June 1st
Air travelers to pay 300 baht; entry via land to cost 150 baht
Levy to spruce up tourist attractions, provide insurance cover
still no mention if this will apply to Khmers, Laos, Malays, Burmese entering overland from their own country

so the 300 by air won't be noticed any more than the 700 baht departure tax, already included for in air fares for yearsThe government expects to collect about 3.9 billion baht in fees this year and a part of it will be used to provide health and accidental insurance cover for the tourists during their stay in the country, Phiphat said.
The levy will be added to air ticket prices, while the method of collections from entry by land has yet to be determined, the government said last year.

Re: Thailand Travel Restrictions and Info
Well they could include another 300 Baht into the airfare and make the trip from the airport to downtown free of charge.
work is for people who cant find truffles
Re: Thailand Travel Restrictions and Info
Just as bad today. Next time I will try the earliest flight. Took the 10.45 flight today, not recommended.
