Arrived in Bangkok on Wednesday morning — immigration took less than a minute. Got my 6-month stamp through my DTV (since 2024), no questions asked. Completed the TDAC one day before departure, so everything was smooth.

The journey from Malta via Istanbul couldn’t have gone better. Both Turkish Airlines and Thai Airways delivered an excellent travel experience.

Grateful to be back in the Land of Smiles ❤️
