Hi everyone. Tomorrow I'm doing a same day return trip to Malaysia and back. Flying to KL in the morning and then back to BKK at night, but my flight from KL stops at Krabi and then connects to BKK. Will I go through immigration at Krabi or BKK?

Thanks!

What is the flight number?

The flight from KL to Krabi is AK860

The flight from Krabi to BKK is WE248

 

Thanks again!

Two different flights. You will clear immigration in Krabi. Make sure there is enough time for the international to domestic connection.

EDIT: OK, you have over three hours, plenty of time.

Thank you Tim! 

Krabi immigration is notoriously slow so try and get off the plane quickly.  AirAsia flights normal get a remote stand and you will be bussed to terminal 1 so stand near the doors to get off first.

Checked in luggage is normally quick but customs X-ray almost everyone’s carry on bags.

You check in for Thai Smile upstairs in terminal 1 then need to walk to terminal 2 which is only about 5 minutes away.

securit screening is usually quite quick at terminal 2.

I have been through Krabi immigration a few times. Never found them slow, nor had to put up with the log jam I have encountered in Don Muang. Also you are the first person that I have heard saying they are "notoriously slow". Maybe you have turned up on a very busy day?

 

Indeed the last time was two months ago, through in a flash.

On more than one occasion I have been first into the immigration hall and there are no staff at the booths. Everyone just waits in the middle of the room until someone comes out of the office to open a booth.
There are 8 booths and I have never seen more than 3 open at once.
My friend waited over an hour last week when 2 aircraft arrived at the same time.
