Well tonight I completed a new tourist visa application for 60 days with 2 entries. Now I have to decide whether to spend $40 to file it here.
Then I went back and looked again at my BKK arrival time of 22:55. That is when the plane is supposed to land but then it needs to taxi to a gate, i am disabled so they make me wait until everyone is off the plane, that takes 30 minutes or more, then they help me to the door, and I get into their wheelchair and they must take me a different route because they must use the handicap elevator then I guess they push me to Customs and Immigration before baggage claim (that part I forget, only have done it once before). I always must stop at a handicap rest room when getting off the plane.
I am thinking I might get to customs 5 minutes before the date change. Who knows, my plane could be early.
What are your thoughts?
