Anybody arriving at the airport the recommended 3hrs before an international flight shouldn't have missed their flight, my airline Emirates advised to get to the airport 4hrs in advance 2 weeks ago
I generally arrive at BKK about 4hrs before my flight back to the UK anyway
Since Covid, however, delays have got worse.
If you had turned up for my Emirates flight 2 weeks ago, just 90mins in advance, you would have missed the flight, same as you would have missed Cooldudes flight too
I prefer to turn up with plenty of time

Suvarnabhumi Passengers Urged to Arrive Early Amid Potential Delays
today:
Suvarnabhumi Passengers Urged to Arrive Early Amid Potential Delays
https://thainews.prd.go.th/en/news/deta ... 5163350439BANGKOK (NNT) - Suvarnabhumi International Airport has started rolling out upgrades to its security screening facility at its departure terminal. The airport also warned departing passengers of potential delays as checkpoints are partially closed due to this renovation.
Suvarnabhumi Airport has advised departing passengers of potential delays caused by renovation work at its security checkpoints where new equipment is being installed.
The airport is in the process of adding an automated tray return system at security checkpoints, where departing passengers are required to have their carry-on bags scanned for prohibited items.
The new tray system will help double the capacity at checkpoints from 3,300 passengers per hour to 6,650. Once in operation, passengers can expect a faster process and less congestion at the airport.
To handle the current situation, the airport said it is deploying additional staff members to help passengers and has coordinated with immigration police to ensure a sufficient number of personnel at passport control.
Nonetheless, departing passengers are advised to arrive at least 3 hours before departure time in order to avoid any unexpected situations.

Actually I flew from BKK yesterday, arrived at 1100 for my 1230 flight. Had plenty of time for my flight. No problem when you fly with a baby.jaynewcastle wrote: ↑Sun Mar 05, 2023 9:43 pmarmchairlawyer wrote: ↑Sun Mar 05, 2023 7:58 pmI generally aim for 90 minutes before and never missed a flight in several decades and hundreds of flights.jaynewcastle wrote: ↑Sun Mar 05, 2023 6:30 pm You will always have people who turn up late at the airport for their flights, scoffing at the idea of arriving early.

Re: Thailand Travel Restrictions and Info
My pet hate (back to pre-internet days) is when airports would tell you to arrive 3 hours before the flight despite your check-in desk not opening until 2 hours before.

Re: Thailand Travel Restrictions and Info
Can Cambodians extend the current Thai 45 day visa exemption on arrival for an additional 30 days? I recall they couldn't extend the 2 week visa although I maybe wrong. Aside it seems they'll extend the temporary 45 day visa exemption which is due to end at the end of the month to year end...
