Should I get my re-entry permit at Chiang Mai immigration or at Bangkok airport?

@Robert ***********

Yeah, but they don't charge it at DMK (I don't think). Anyway, it's still convenient, so I mustn't complain...

Because they are providing a service to passengers, Liam..

It's 1200 at Suvarnabhumi, they charge a 200b 'service fee' there, for reasons that have never been entirely clear to me

@Liam ****

is it 1,000b for single and 3,800b multiple ? Or does it cost 1,200b if done at the airport?

Just a note of clarification, 1200b for a single entry permit. I think it's 3800b for multi, but I may be wrong on that as I haven't done multi at the airport for years

You get a stamp like this inside your passport:

Right generally speaking it's fairly quick and easy at BKK. The re-entry stamp office is after security, before immigration (but in the same room as immigration). If your flight is at 6, you're probably just before the morning rush (7-9am at BKK) so I would say you won't have too much of a problem. I still suggest you check in early (say 2 and a half hours before). The cost at BKK is 1200b. If it's quick and easy, then treat yourself a coffee and some breakfast!

I see snow in Chiang Mai...
