Keithambrose Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 Forgot to mention that when I arrived, the airport was not that busy. I was surprised, as I arrived at 4pm. I used the fast track, and went straight to a booth, but the main immigration are was not at all crowded. Maybe I was lucky. No luggage so in hotel car 25 mins after touchdown.

gerefan Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 I arrived at Savanabhumi last Wednesday at about 9 pm and also went through Fastrack. Quite quick and my bag was waiting for me. However there were lots of people in the ordinary queues. It didn’t do me much good though because the flight was nearly two hours late arriving but the Pattaya Limo taxi waited for me …bless him!
