TLDR : Answer Summary
Yes, all immigration entry and exit points in Thailand, including Nong Khai, utilize biometric systems. This includes major points like the Nong Khai Train Station and Friendship Bridge #1. The implementation of biometric scanning allows for better tracking of individuals, enhancing immigration security. There have been reports highlighting the effectiveness of these systems in identifying individuals with discrepancies in their documentation, showcasing the growing reliance on technology in immigration control.

Thai Immigration had caught a Chinese Citizen who obtained Vanuatu Citizenship (Vanuatu Citizenship by Investment), changed their name with Vanuatu and used a Vanuatu Passport to enter Thailand, but Thai Immigration biometrics caught this Chinese/Vanuatu Citizen (different names in the 2 Passports) who is wanted for billions in real estate Fraud in China

Currently they have 1 primary purpose:
