Why are immigration queues at Don Mueang Airport so long?

I'm sure most travelers do not know about express service (or are too frugal) and for those traveling with families, it is simply too costly.

or a good reason to use an express check in service ;)

Stop cheating....they have. Different wy...nd the immigration us nothing to do wtihmit

Shocking!

The lines at Immigration in DMK last week looked horrendous. Can't even call them lines really - more like a mob.

Well thins is it ....then

@Reiner ********

Maybe you look suspicious.... I have never encountered those sort of delays in Europe, America or Asia.

Ray Bingham ma be z not travel a lot .. my last , Miami 2,5 , kualalumpur 1,5, china 2 , all this year only.. I forgot Australia ....2,5 incl check of cloth

There's plenty of European airports with this problem at the moment, all the British papers are moaning about it. But there's also loads of airports that never have this kind of problem. It's not an impossible problem to solve, it's just not a priority for them.

Dubai! There... (that was easy)

There are too many efficient airports to count. Bangkok's airports have been rated some of the lowest in customer satisfaction surveys in recent years. Google it. As Thailands government has recently stated, they are trying to attract wealthier tourists instead of trying to increase the current numbers of annual visitors. Making people wait hours at customs is not a great start in sending this message out to the world. I think the OP has every right to be irritated at having to wait hours. It's a rational response. I am not sure he needs to be told to relax though. He seemed perfectly calm to me. I for one am grateful to people sharing their experiences here. We all should be.

I have never had to wait 2 hours anywhere else in the world.......that should help you to recognize how localized the problem is !

good info. thanks.

Hmmm

Yes fast track is available at DMK, I use it every time :)

How do you get "fast track" service?

I wasn't aware they did that at Don Muang. Nice info thanks Sean.
