To settle a bet does one go through a body scan on arrival at Bangkok airport?  My friend believes AI which says yes. I say this only happens at departure and AI is wrong.

At 2ndary screening for some high risk individuals, otherwise for 99% of people, NO.

 

Since there's no primary body scan security screening inbound, how can they do secondary screening? Maybe after they get flagged-up at passport control and taken aside?

 

There's security screening for those CIS passengers transiting airside from international to domestic and vice-versa.

 

Maybe that's what is confusing AI?

Your “friend”? What contraband do you plan on bringing in?

And where is he planning on concealing it? :whistling:

 

I believe they are x-raying all arriving baggage before it gets to the carousel, but that's about it unless you get selected to have your bags x-rayed at the customs post on the way out.

 Slightly irritated by two of the comments in particular the one with "Friend" in inverted commas please let me explain. My " friend" is an eighty three year old lady with arthritis in both shoulders. She was scared that the officers might  not understand her inability to lift her arms and not understand her refusal to do so. Previously she has only flown to Europe and how Asian airports work and the possible lack of English was a matter of considerable concern. Her son Googled the question. The first AI answer there was wrong. I have a small for fun bet on the question. Thank you to those who actually answered the question sensibly. I shall pass on the information.

She should talk with the security staff and explain her ailment that prevents her raising her arms. There are werll trained female staff who can easily, and sensitvely screeen her, in private, if neccessary. It is no big deal. Just talk to the security staff.
