I've lost my immigration card (the departure card thing). Have to fly out of the country next week. Can I get a new one at the airport? That's how they dealt with it a couple of years ago

TLDR : Answer Summary
If you've lost your immigration departure card in Thailand, don't worry; you can fill out a new one. You can obtain a replacement at your airline's check-in counter when you're flying out. It's advisable to ask for it while checking in to avoid delays, as immigration doesn't handle these cards at the airport. A tip for future visits is to ask your hotel to staple the card into your passport to prevent losing it.

Immigration has always stapled mine into my passport when I arrived.

they only do that once in a while now. It was a cost saving thing (with 36million visitors expected that's a LOT of staples)

Yes, make sure you ask for it at the airlines counter when you're checking in or you will have to go back there again to get one. They don't have them at the immigration area.

Tip for the future - ask the first. Hotel you stay in to staple it into your passport for you.
