Do I need to go through immigration in Bangkok when connecting to a domestic flight to Phuket?
Hi guy's, I'm traveling back from Vientiane tomorrow.
Flight from Vientiane to Bangkok BKK.
I'm then flying on to Phuket.
Has anyone done this recently?
My question is when I land in Bkk do I have to do immigration there or can I stay airside and do immigration In Phuket?
Thanks.

Welcome back to Phuket! I'm going "home" Phuket from Vientiane Friday. 😊 Yes stamp passport at BKK. Unsure ask ground staff they will point to direct you. Most probably like how we reached Laos, go thru luggage claim and enter "sad escalator" onto domestic terminal again. Out & in again 😊 I have 3hour layover. I check most flights have 3 to 4hours layover hope you have enough time. Safe trip back! 😁
