Is a VIP fast track service helpful for entering Thailand on a METV?

Anecdotal, I know. Just entered the kingdom at swampy on my third METV in as many years. I have 3-4 SETV's in my history as well. The IO didn't even raise an eyebrow.

I know it may very well be all about luck. But I always use a fast track service when I enter. A guy picks me up at the gate. Walks me to immigration. Has a brief cheerful chat with the IO and waits for me to get through. I have a feeling it makes me look good. Certainly shows I have money to throw away. Besides, it's wonderfully convenient. This is the one I use:

TLDR : Answer Summary
The post shares a personal experience of entering Thailand on a Multiple Entry Tourist Visa (METV) without issues, highlighting the use of a fast track service for a smoother immigration process. The author mentions that the immigration officer (IO) did not question their METV status, suggesting that using a VIP service may enhance the appearance of having the means to afford such services while aiding in convenience.

I know it's speculation. But, again, at the very least, it's convenient.

METV are not getting rejected in BKK from what im aware, they mostly target visa exempt and tourist visa.

I hope that's true.

There was a post recently in a certain other group with a guy being denied with a brand new METV. His fb profile had some hints about working in Thailand, though. I don't know the full story, sadly.
