    Close to none haha. Of course it's nearly impossible for an average Joe. Only total freaks can achieve that.

  • Just contact the Suvarnabhumi police.

China Airlines gave me a voucher to go in the quick line but I didn't need it as i am over 70 and can use the line for old duffers, much shorter.

Totally depends on the airline AFAIK, some can't even be bothered to hand out the vouchers for that. But I have no idea if just showing your Boarding Pass will get you also through Fast Track

Big Joke got rid of the coupons several years ago because so many of them were being illegally sold by airport and airline employees - now you just show your boarding pass from a premium cabin. It's unfortunate in a way, because previously some airlines would give the coupons to high status frequent flyers even when flying economy, and that's not possible anymore. 

Me and the rest of the Elite, 'up-ourselves' crew go through the diplomatic counters in the Fast Track zone so we NEVER stand in line haw haw haw ????????????

Get the Elite visa. Pick up from the plane in them golf carts, fast track Elite counter and then out in the back seat of a decent BMW 730.

If you qualify (four options), the 10-year renewable Long Term Resident Visa provides for Fast-Track service at international airports in Thailand and no re-entry permits are required (multiple re-entry is stamped in passport). 1-year report to immigration vs 90- days.

Cost 50,000 baht.

Get your own BMW.

When I arrived recently I was asked upon entering immigration arrivals area what class of flight was I traveling on. When I showed them my boarding pass indicating I was traveling in business class I was escorted to a “fast track” IO desk and was quickly processed and on my way.

Of course, we laugh at that, but in 2023 a trans man may be able to become pregnant.

Thai Passport line uses those digital scanners, how can foreigners use them?

They have manual service as well. We did fly out and back in, and no line at all!

That's a great reason to get married?????

If you are over 70 years of age you can use the Fast Track lanes at the airport.

My mate booked this top link about 2 days ago for arriving 25th, maybe he just made it, either that or he's in for a surprise when he arrives.

I talked to Limousin fast track company today, and they are not providing the service  for the moment. It seemed I could still book online but they admitted on chat they where out of service. I could still book for my return, but no guarantee.

Yes, as likely as me becoming a millionaire in 2023...

I've always used THAI immigration lanes whenever travel in family. Fast, hastle-free, less queue. My family is Thais and i'm the only foreigner. IO always took a bundled of my wife & kids Thai passports, and mine being completely on different color was placed among those.

The top news story in Thailand right now is about how a cute, young commoner aka an influencer got the royal treatment when she arrived at Swampy, including an "official" police motorcycle escort to her hotel in Pattaya. At least 4 tourist and traffic police have been implicated, I believe. 

 

There are 2 fast lanes -  one land side and one air side. I've reported that the fast lane for arrivals was temporarily closed for "construction."

 

But there has been an alternative "secret" priority lane in the main immigration hall. Actually they now have a small sign indicating its existence, so don't miss it. Last time there was no wait. In fact the bored IOs looked surprised to see me coming.

 

There is a potential downside to using the fast lane. The IOs can take their time to scrutinize your passport cause there isn't a long line behind you.
