Thailand "4.0"?....that's what we hear in the news...but in reality it's "Thailand 0.4"...and not only with visa...

does this mean also for 30 day visa exempt ? 

This simply shows the world how efficient is this country.

You can bet half the booths will be empty as usual. No such thing as planning ahead in Thailand

I would say less than half. Let's take into account that it's holiday season so some IO's need a vacation as well. 

 

As a matter of fact, that's likely why the queues will be long. This "screening" thing is probably some bulls##t they came up with, to justify these queues in advance.

They should do more screening at the visa waiver counters so as to stop as many pedophiles and broke scumbags from entering not just look at passport and color.. a simple research would clearly state that all the Chinese Indians and others from Asia stay in luxurious hotels and spend more than 10 times the money spent by many scum bags who live off of weekly and monthly benefits in their native countries

warn the public and ask for cooperation in the queues

How does one cooperate ? What is the meaning ?

No "grumbling ? 

Disgraceful service.

YES...Amusing Thailand! Never changes despite all the BS lip service. Typical Thailand! 

Immigration are taking a smart approach to this problem. They tell us now that you maybe waiting for 4 hours in line to be stamped in. They then do nothing to speed up this process. Then in reality it only takes 3 hours of waiting, next press release will state, Immigration have done an excellent job and cut the waiting time by 25%. Medals all round for their uniforms.

Standing in the queue for 4 hours is crap.
Why not simply place machines where you can draw a waiting number like in any bank. Instead of being in the queue for hours, you could go for food and shopping.

 

They would need a brain, but remember that they wear an uniform and it doesn't help to have one...

"How does one cooperate?"

 

They probably mean by not taking photos, and then posting them on the social-media,where they will embarrass the incompetents in-charge.

I have experienced worse service at Shanghai China, 2 hours to transit.

 Most  I have waited in Bangkok was a little more than 1 hour. I also try

to avoid arriving near a holiday as well.

Geezer

well from departing my taxi to opening a beer in the royal silk lounge took less than 5mintues.

That's departures not arrivals.

 

And since when would royal silk take more than 5 minutes anyway?

 

Happy New Year and have a safe flight you numbnuts
