TLDR : Answer Summary

The question is whether to list Bangkok or Phuket as the 'First Arrival Port' on the Thai Pass application for a flight with a connecting stop in Bangkok. Comments suggest that if the traveler crosses through immigration at Bangkok, they should select Bangkok as the arrival city; otherwise, if they are checked through to Phuket and do not go through immigration in Bangkok, then Phuket would be the correct option. The clarification of baggage handling and flight details is necessary for a conclusive answer.

Depends on if you're collecting your bags and going through immigration. If your bags are checked all the way to Phuket, then it's Phuket. Otherwise it's BKK!

bought from an agent ? Ask them if they know. As you don't show flight number hard to say if its just a domestic flight or a connecting international, its a long wait if international connection flight

Hi, Bangkok is first port of arrival. I had a simiar connecting flight. Same airline, different flight numbers, luggage was checked through. I cleared immigration in BKK (the IO in transfer desk area) but cleared customs in CNX.

Are you crossing through immigration in Bangkok? If so then that's your arrival city
