TLDR : Answer Summary

The post discusses an individual's remarkably quick experience upon arriving at a Thai airport, completing immigration and retrieving luggage in just 19 minutes. The comments reflect a mix of disbelief, questions about the airport and visa type, and comparisons to experiences in other countries.
