ORIGINAL POSTER

Not sure if this is the correct place for this airport immigration question.

I will be arriving on Wed. and want to know if anyone has gone through immigration since they start to finger print everyone.

How good or bad are the lines at the Suvarnabhumi Airport. I will be coming in around 11:00 am.

It’s low season, so queues should be ok , but it really depends on how many flights land just before yours.
