What should I know about arriving in Thailand, especially regarding immigration and scanning processes?

Hi members..

Flying in Thailand soon next couple weeks. Coming in on my Passport hopefully it's still 60 days. Then get a 30 extension at Khon Kaen immigration. It's a return ticket from Thai Airways.

Sydney to Khon Kaen is where I'll be staying all the time. With the incoming online form you do 3 days before.. You fill it out and send it in. Then you get confirmation email back.

What do you do with at BBK.

Are there scanners that you use before you get to immigration or do you scan when you scan passport.

All new to me...
Answer summary
The user is preparing for their arrival in Thailand on a 60-day tourist visa and plans to extend it once in Khon Kaen. They ask about the immigration process at Bangkok airport (BBK), particularly regarding scanning their passport and dealing with the online entry form. Community members respond with advice, including the use of a confirmation screenshot for immigration and clarifying that the immigration officer will handle any necessary scanning.

You don't scan anything. The immigration officer will see your TDAC when they take your passport and scan it.
