I had read about the immigration lanes in Suvarnabhumi that are designated for Chinese. Made me, almost, wish I were Chinese.

 So I was surprised when I was leaving the country and was told to use a Chinese lane.

Good thinking by immigration to let others use the lanes when there are not that many Chinese. Or is it all the time now?

 

Have you looked yourself in the mirror?

Yea, but there was an Asian guy standing next to me. Not sure which one was me. : (

When I was leaving through Chiang Mai, they told me to move over to the air crew lane, as it was empty.

I have once been told to use the Thai land as it was empty, no big deal............

Happy to hear about the flexibility of Immigration

There is always a chance that a helper/officer dispatches people to unmanned desks.

Of course they will avoid crowding the "premium" counters.

 

Not many Chinese?

This thread gives me hope

When I asked an attendant whether there was a special counter for an older adult, she said "No".

Does anyone know of one?

I believe if you are over 70 you can use the premium lanes on arrival at Bangkok I guess it's the same for departures.

I'm partly Chinese.  Han Sum Farang dynasty.  Long beard.  Which line, please?

Yes, I used the Premium Lane on Arrival but don't know where it might be for departure. And the attendants didn't know and didn't care.
