Thailand to tax residents’ foreign income irrespective of remittance

[SingAPorn]

There is this new SAT1 terminal that is slowly starting to operate in Suvarnabhumi Bangkok Airport. Despite all the flashy publicity around it, this brand new terminal is far from being convenient for passengers.

 

If your flight arrives at this terminal, you will need to take an airport train to reach the main terminal for immigration and luggage claim. Same for departures and thus extra time needed after check in and security to reach this new SAT 1 terminal.

 

Hopefully the clever airlines will avoid using this terminal that is definately not convenient due to the commuting required between the terminals.

 

Why did they not make check-in counters, immigration booths and luggage claims directly inside the SAT 1 terminal to make life more simple for passengers ?

T.i.T  ???         same same for the 3-4 different overground_underground train operators and the bus companies and the motorway toll companies   all competing to "inconvenience" the customer.

How about a link instead of just a rant?

It says the total time for the trains, including wait time, is 3 minutes.  Doesn't sound too bad if true.

I've used it twice. Once when flying with Austrian Airlines and once with Turkish Airlines.  Added only a few minutes to overall arrival/departure times. Just wasn't an issue for me....
