Report on leaving Thailand from DMK 5/7/23

Hopefully this will be of use to other travelers.

The airport is much less crowded than pre Covid times.

Wait time for check in at Air Asia: 20 minutes.

Wait time for luggage X-ray: 1 minute.

Wait time for immigration: 13 minutes.

Wait time for security screening: 5 minutes.

My flight is at 0905.

I arrived at the airport 0600.

In this case, I have two hours to relax and eat breakfast.

They experienced a 20-minute check-in process with Air Asia, a 1-minute luggage X-ray wait, a 13-minute immigration wait, and a 5-minute security screening. Arriving two hours before their 9:05 AM flight allowed them time to relax and eat.
