Popular Post webfact Posted March 25 Popular Post Share Posted March 25 Suvarnabhumi Airport immigration officials inspected readiness as the summer approaches. Following a recent incident on February 24th, Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin visited the immigration area unannounced and expressed dissatisfaction with certain operational aspects, particularly immigration processes. He urged immigration authorities to assess peak passenger times and streamline services accordingly. Picture: Siam Rath On March 25th, Police Lieutenant General Kittirat Ratana, Deputy Director of the Airport Authority, along with other immigration officials, conducted an inspection. They assessed whether the Prime Minister's directives had been implemented and addressed any issues, particularly during peak passenger times, reported Siam Rath. Kittirat Ratana reported adjustments in passport inspection processes at immigration counters, reducing entry time from 45 to 30 seconds. Automatic passport scanners now expedite the process in just 20 seconds. Picture: Siam Rath In cases of heavy passenger traffic, additional immigration staff are deployed to assist, ensuring efficient service delivery. Furthermore, infrastructure and biometric systems at immigration checkpoints have been upgraded to prevent system failures. Picture: Siam Rath Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin expressed concern about the upcoming influx of foreign visitors in the fourth quarter and emphasized preparedness across all immigration units. Today's inspection reaffirmed the airport's commitment to efficient immigration service provision. -- ASEAN NOW 2024-03-26 - Discover how Cigna Insurance can protect you with a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment.

Wrong, temp much the same most of the year, the clouds trap the heat and humidity, and makes it miserable for most. Clouds might block light, but not the infrared rays, which cause heat.

As usual it will only last a few weeks, then back to normal, bit like the current air pollution, it will be "fix" naturally... but return next season. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Jonathan Swift Posted March 26 Popular Post Share Posted March 26 They can do it, there just has to be focus and motivation. I've seen amazing diligence and efficiency on the part of Thai people, yes, even in government agencies. Look at how they handled Covid. Like clockwork, and one of the safest countries in the world right out of the starting gate. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Sydebolle Posted March 26 Popular Post Share Posted March 26 Revamp the entire immigration; unload 90% of all those forms, forget about blue-inked signatures on photocopies etc. etc. etc. It is tedious, repetitive and - in some cases - rather insulting by immigration officers who cannot even speak English. I mean, who seeks the services of the immigration - Thai citizen for one are not among them! 1 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has to be seen to be doing something with-out knowing how to do it. that's why most (if not all) of everything he does contradicts everything he says.

One day you may come to realise Spring and Autumn are not in the vocabulary, only summer and winter. Songkran is not seen to be in the winter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rainy season & cool season are the best 🙂 People should avoid coming to Thailand during summer and the rainy season as we've got members complaining about it. Better still, everyone should avoid Thailand completely as all year round it's too hot and too polluted 🙂 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
