Just landed in BKK - was slightly apprehensive about immigration with a team of mostly female IOs but they were all smiling and looked friendly.

Didn’t see anyone experiencing any issues and I was straight through in 2 mins with the new fingerprint scanning, no questions or hassle 🙂
Answer summary
A recent arrival at Bangkok's airport shared their positive immigration experience, noting friendly immigration officers and efficient processing with fingerprint scanning, taking just two minutes without any hassle. Others chimed in with comments about relieving anxiety and inquiring which airport was used, highlighting the overall smoother arrival process.
