Hi everyone!

My flight arrives at 11:30 PM. Does anyone know if there will be long lines at immigration? I've seen pictures of huge queues and I'm not sure if it's worth buying the fast track pass.

Thanks!
Answer summary
The general consensus among community members is that there will not be long lines at immigration for a flight arriving at 11:30 PM at Bangkok airport. Many users reported experiencing short wait times, typically around 5-20 minutes. It's advised to check the airport's website for real-time updates, and if the lines do appear long, purchasing a fast track pass for 200 baht might be worth it for convenience.

24hrs reception desk is almost everywhere. The thing is - check in time. There has to be some arrangement with hotel to keep the room available for say, 1am next day, for a charge, like paying whole or 70% of the price for the day before.

It varies daily just make sure you complete your forms and have everything ready when it is your turn and go with the flow .Unless you have special needs should be fine going in general line up.People over 70 or travelling with Thai passenger can get in a special line by making themselves known to an official

I have flown in two times this year and arrived at 11 pm both times and there was hardly a wait at all. Maybe 5 to 10 minutes.

Check phuket airports website for the arrivals coming in at your time. If the lines are quite full walk all the way to the end and pay 200 baht for fast track. Save yourself the energy of lining up thru it all because then you have the taxi ride to your accommodation and it’s already been a long day by this point..

No, should be ok. The lines move smoothly. It usually takes me about 15-20 minutes to get through

That depends on how many other flights arrive around the same time.
