I grasp replacements need some training and it takes time.... They were likely just transferred to another department. So, when they were ready to re-open all staff were ready. This is about sloth and not having enough cues manned. Not about a lack of personnel. If anything, immigration has far too many personnel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nglodnig Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 Which is why I always transit BKK on my way to CNX but still have to go through the passport check (in the transit area, not the main one) which is usually a few minutes wait at worst.....

Just like Dulles airport outside Washington, D.C. They have about 25 counters that I could see. Came back from BKK in November and about 4 were open - only 1 for citizens and permanent residents! Took me well over 2 hours to get in, as there were hundreds of us in that one line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing works efficiently. They should definitely have special lines for Chinese and non English/ Thai speaking tourists. The amount of people who don’t understand a word of what the IO s asking is incredible. Are there now signs asking for boarding cards as most people just leave them on the plane ? I’ve never seen queues as long as this anywhere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thailand good in comparison LAX or SeaTac for comparative examples.......I'm guessing there are many many more the world over. Swampy. Could be worse.

Yorkshire Tea Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 Queuing to get through the automated gates at Manchester Airport was a lot longer than clearing immigration in Bangkok. But don't get me started on the wait for my baggage afterwards... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
