TLDR : Answer Summary
The post is a request for advice from someone flying into Thailand. The comments provide various tips including efficient ways to navigate immigration, reminders to respect local culture, endorsement of taxi ride apps like Grab, and suggestions on what to wear and do upon arrival.
When you get to the front of the queue at immigration make sure your passport and boarding pass is at the bottom of your bag and be on your phone as loud as possible
Bit late for advice ... generally, be flexible, be patient, don't complain, don't worry, don't compare ANYTHING with the US ... respect the people and their culture ... everything is better here ... everything!
Make sure you stand up as soon as the plane has landed and make your way towards the front of it. This will ensure you get off quicker. Once off the plane walk with purpose and as quickly as possible following the signs for immigration. Make sure you don't run as you need to look like you're not bothered about the vital 5 seconds. Once immigration is complete go to the baggage reclaim belt and wait with all the other people from your flight for your luggage to arrive.
You are the people standing up and blocking the way immediately after the plane has landed. Doors not even open gate not even connected but you stand there like 15 minutes🙄
You are the reason for non smooth disembarging and yet you promote the bad behaviour
Another one you guys might like is when storing your overhead luggage don't store it above yourself, store it further down the plane towards the front, this way you are claiming dominance over the passengers in the storage section and also allowing a ‘free run’ down from your seat to the luggage area. At this point you are pretty much running the aisle, however to be safe, during the flight make as many trips as possible to your luggage (take your time rummaging through your belongings) but on these visits make sure you "inadvertently " nudge the back of as many head rests as possible, which again, will assert your dominance and at the same time prevent the other passengers getting a good rest - ideal as they are your disembarking competitors come landing. If you are worried about nudging the back of the head rest, don't be, pretend you are unsteady on your feet due to turbulence or disabled; also leaving your seat as soon as the drinks cart is coming aids any issues here as that creates all sorts of anxiety all round and once again asserts an unconscious dominance. These people won't be messing with you come landing, they want you out of their lives ASAP. Let me know if you need anymore travel hacks.
I do take business class sometimes but the price difference isn't really worth it. Shame to waste my travel skill set too, you know all those little tricks i've built up over the years.
