I used the facial recognition gates to catch my plane to Australia last week. It worked fine. But it was a bit un-nerving to see the vast rooms of empty border control lines. I wonder where all the immigration staff will be redeployed?

Leaving Thailand is much smoother with the new machines. Coming back through immigration is still a drag. The immigration cops are all as thick as rocks and can't organize even the simplest queue system.

They will be reassigned with some more interesting bureaucratic f-a-rts, the 90 days might be boiled to 30 days or someone has to check, if all the photocopies are signed with exclusively blue ink. If I see, what the immigration madness has resulted in this country ...... the sky is the limit!

Shouldn't they talk about upgrades months before the tourist season actually started, instead of now, so that there's time to implement the upgrades? If the upgrades were really going to happen, that is. What this farce actually underscored is how immensely clueless this unelected kid and those manning her puppet-strings, are.

Who will pay for the upgrade?

 

Let it be Phuket who will benefit, and if they need money, go to the AOT (who will also benefit) and TOT for it and NOT the people of Thailand, the majority of whom will never use it.

Obviously a last minute decision. She was in such a rush she forgot her shoes and had to

borrow a pair. Wrong colour and three sizes too big.

too late for this tourist season ...    how about putting the money and efforts to good use ....

especially in northern regions recovering from recent floods.

 

And what about the vote buying 10000 baht?

I noticed these going airside and at the gate on a domestic departure a couple of weeks ago but they weren't then in use.  What's the process to use them on international departures?
