Newlyweds get fast-track through Phuket immigration

For one month only, newlyweds, honeymooners and "loving partners" can then use the airports' "premium lane"

Phuket: -- Couples getting married and or spending their honeymoons in Thailand this month are getting a special wedding present from the Tourism Authority of Thailand: A speedy trip through airport immigration.

TAT said this week that all newlyweds, honeymooners and "loving partners" who register at desks located both Phuket and Suvarnabhumi international airports can then use the airports' "premium lane" to take a fast track through often long immigration lines.

Couples will also be eligible for gifts and other privileges, and will be entered into a prize drawing for a chance to win hotel accommodation, spa treatments, and dining vouchers.

At Phuket airport, the registration counter in the main passenger hall connected to the aerobridge. Both registration counters will have photo booths.

At Suvarnabhumi, registration counters are located at the end of moving walkways in the east concourse, which receives passengers from gates A, B, C and D; and the west concourse, which receives passengers from gates E, F and G.

TAT governor Thawatchai Arunyik said the promotion begun in 2013. He noted that, this year, Thailand has been named the "Sexiest Romance/Honeymoon Destination in Asia" by readers of Recommend magazine in the US.

"This award is another testament to Thailand's wide variety of upscale tourism products and services that suit the needs of newlyweds and loving couples wanting to create an ever-lasting memory of their nuptials," he said.
