Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin expressed concern about the upcoming influx of foreign visitors in the fourth quarter

You wanted more and more visitors, millions of them, right? You exempted citizens from China, India and other countries, right?  Well, deal with it now.

Who on earth goes to Thailand in the rainy season in summer in the first place ?

 

Before I moved here, I had some great holidays here in the rainy season. That was of course, before some clown decided global warming was a good invention to scam the masses.

2nd BiB from right: Who took the cookies?!

3rd one: Not me!

You could be right, it looks like a cardboard box in front of him. However, my first thought was, he is catching flies.

Summer has already started in Thailand. Summer is March, April & May. Rainy season is from June to October/November.

On the east coast islands, the main rainy season is October > December.

Australians who don't like winter?

The fix is easy, even a monkey could work it out.

 

To cope with the increasing traffic, Airports of Thailand (AOT) had increased the number of immigration booths from 92 to 119 and more immigration officers were on duty from Wednesday on.

 

This would allow them to handle about 6,500 arrivals per hour in a 45-second process without compromising security.

 

Solution: Add more immigration booths, seems 119 is not enough to handle current influx peaks.

Entering the country as a tourist at the airport - which is what is under discussion here - does not involve any forms or signatures.

 

Anymore, but forget to present your boarding pass when you started the journey and you'll be in for a hell of a surprise, trust me!

A lot of people ( tourists ) who do not do there home work first on when and were they are going, I am guilty of that, I once went to Zimbabwe to see Victoria Falls, I went wrong time, at the end of the dry season, I have photos of the falls with no water going over it, pissed of or what 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Need signs now in swampy.

All westerners in this line. "guy sitting in his booth sleeping"

All Chines in this line. "guy playing video games between people"

All Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar this line. "50 agents trying to contain the crowds trying to process the people trying to get out of their country. With no intent of going back.

 

Thailand the center of the universe and tourist destination of the world...

 

There's something that bothers me... scaling of immigration operations.

 

Every passenger on the plane has a ticket. They need to buy one before they board the plane. They already know their passport numbers, nationalities, visa requirements, etc which are all done by airlines at the checkin counters.

 

Surely by knowing exactly how many people are on each plane, and what's an average delay of a plane, who is transiting and who is going through immigration, they could scale the force accordingly?

Is the PM wearing a Police Uniform?  Isn't he in a civilian job?  Is this a police state?

But in 30 seconds how can they apply the strictly check of the incoming foreigners as the immigration is told to do so now??

Easy, the eyeball computer, scans Russians and Chinese and the officers know the path is clear and pass them straight through.

Correct, yet overland crossings are a completely different ball game - the forms and the blue ink are celebrated like nothing else would matter. 

On arriving by air though you need to present your boarding pass; leaving it on the aircraft (as in my case) resulted in a shower of lectured "just to let you know" for 20 minutes after consultation with the supervisor on duty and facial expressions like if they just caught Jack the Ripper! 

There was zero line at Suvarnabhumi Immigration today. Which was weird because I was the last to disembark from a crowded A330.

 

 

Promises, Promises

That would involve proper management and supervision which Thailand no hab krup.
