Sure hope so. You wouldn't want to be explaining to immigration officer that you're not Dwayne Johnson each time you cross the border, would you... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheryl Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 They are at Poipet/Aran crossing. I suspect that if any stations still don't have them, they will soon enough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theoldgit Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 In the UK, Immigration Enforcement Teams carry mobile scanners, about the same size os the mobile terminals that some restaurants use for credit card transactions at the table, they connect not only to the UKBA database but to EURODAC, the EU Database. Not sure if Thai Immigration have these, but if not I suspect they will have at some time in the near future. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rak sa_ngop Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 Seems like every time I get finger scanned I have a problem. Needed multiple tries at BKK airport, and last time I was in Singapore I had to be escorted to a separate desk and treated like a criminal. Looking at my fingertips the skin is creased and wrinkly from age (66). I can only expect fingerprint recognition to get more and more problematic for myself.....and probably lots of other ageing travellers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Handcuffs? Taser? Lock-up? Frisk? Being escorted to another desk, in and of itself, is not being treated like a criminal. If your fingers don't scan properly then it sounds perfectly reasonable, like they are doing their job.

UKBA - United Kingdom Border Agency EU - European Union EURODAC - is the acronym for the EU Fingerprint Database. Not directly Thailand related but it shows what’s out there for those that take things seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
