Good afternoon

I am currently travelling up to Suvanabumi to fly out tonight

I am on a 30 day extension.

Would I be correct in thinking I cannot use the e gates for departure as although the extension is stamped clearly enough there has been nothing electronically changed to the passport at the Hua Hin Blueport Immigration office ?

Many thanks

You just go where directed. At E gates its scan passport, scan fingerprints and look at camera
