It's pretty handy for people who live near CW though. Why should they have an immigration service office in the airport? 1. People arriving in the country already have visas or are visa exempt. People landing don't need to apply for extensions of stay or do 90 day reports. There are immigration officers and visa on arrival counters for those that need them. Full immigration services are simply not needed at the airport, hence they are not located there. 2. In normal times Suvarnabhumi is over capacity and over crowded. But you would like to have hundreds / thousands of extra people a day milling around to do 90 day reports or extensions of stay. All taking up space, all queueing for taxis. Great idea. CW will soon be connected by the pink line monorail so you'll be happy as all government office should be connected to mass transit just like they are in the UK, the US and Australia.

Yes, I'm in a Line-group chat with many foreigners of different occupations, and we all very impressed how clandestine they kept this whole operation.
