TLDR : Answer Summary
The conversation revolves around the experiences of travelers arriving at Suvarnabhumi Airport, specifically regarding the use of the Thai passport lane for those with a Thai spouse. Several users confirm that having a Thai wife allows them to use the express lane for arrivals, provided she is present. There are discussions about the advantages of being in a relationship with a Thai citizen for easing airport wait times, tips on senior citizen lines, and general travel advice concerning the current airport conditions.

No, your wife has to be present. Otherwise, with children (not sure what the cut off age is, but they seem flexible) you can use the family lane, which is arguably even faster.
We are flying on aug 23 from Luang Prabang to Don muang Arriving about the same time 4 PM… Anybody know if customs there has same long lines? I have no Thai wife ......but sometimes I can be patient and do kagels in line

It's one of the most visited cities in the world, why are people surprised that there are lines during the busiest time of day??? The other 16 hours of the day it takes maybe 15 minutes tops.

I dont understand if you have a thai wife you don’t have to wait in the foreigner section anymore??? Also can we use the automatic kiosk too?
no, that's only for Thai passports. But the express lane and Thai citizen lane are next to each other so they let you go there with your Thai spouse and use the express lane.
gotcha, one more question can i use the express lane even though my thai wife isnt present? Or does she have to be there in line next to me in order to be able to use it?
true. But then again those requiring a wheelchair often gets to be the very last to depart the aircraft. First in, last out. Unless you need the chair I don't think it's a viable hack for regular travelers 😂🙏
yeah. But even back when i was a walking person, i left planes as the past pax because i let the ones fight for being first to exit. Eco class people start running as soon as the plane hits the runway 😂
50k baht for 10 years. Unlimited entry. FastTrack at airport. No 90 day reporting. No more visits to the bank or immigration

Todd McGowan there is a lot more to the LTR than just a cost OF 50k Baht though, isn't there? It's not for example, the average, or below average income retiree, is it? You need to have a significant income or bank balance, or both.

Colin Boyland that’s why the link is added….
Is there ‘a lot more to it’? No. If you have the income, that’s all you need. Easiest visa in the country. The name ‘LTR Wealthy Pensioner’ is a bit of a giveaway. As is wealthy global citizen.
yep, from his link there's a set of minimum requirements and you need to meet all of them, not just one, so that means $1m in assets + $80k/yr income, among others. The law firm itself replied to one of the questions: "Yes, you are required to meet all 3 criterias i.e. 1. Own 1M USD asset 2..having income over USD 80,000 for previous 2 years 3. Invest in Thailand equivalent to USD 500,000"
really Todd been coming nearly 19 years I have a 17 yearold son and never heard of it I m 68 if you get a chance send me info if not I ll have to dig it out thank you
