Can any one tell me what time the Domestic check in closes before a flight.

I check in 2 to 3 hours myself

Maybe visiting Thai Airways website does help ignorant passengers (FAQ section, can you find that? )

Q :

Q :

What documents do I need to present at check-in?

A :

For international flights, your passport with visa (if required at the destination), and your ticket. For domestic flights, only your ticket and I.D are required.

Also, if you want credit for frequent flyer miles, you should also present your Royal Orchid Plus card.

Ideal 60 mins

Their own website says check in closes 30 minutes before departure and the gate closes 10 minutes before departure.

However, the wife, baby and I fronted up at the check-in for an Udon flight 15 minutes before departure and they checked us in, multiple bags and baby carrier as well. That was at a quiet 6pm period mid-week.

Great airline... great airport.
