Quick DTV Entry Update: 🇵🇰🇹🇭

This was my second entry to Thailand on the DTV. I had entered Thailand from Bali on my first entry and it was a breeze. Just got asked a Q about accomodation.

Today I was entering from Pakistan. And it was even smoother. I expected a lot of Qs at Bangkok airport. Surprisingly, no Qs asked. Just stamped in for 6 months.

There were a few Qs leaving Pakistan (by Pakistani Passport Control) but mainly because they'd never seen a DTV before 😁

So happy with the whole process 🎉

PS: I filled out the TDAC while still on runway so it saved a BUNCH of time. Also, ZERO waiting time in line for passport control. They have so many counters now.

Is it correct that a Thai national can travel from the UK on Thai airways with an expired passport?

Do you lovely members know if Thai airways are checking the weight on the hand luggage at Heathrow??

Can someone please clarify if there are flights to Hua Hin and if so, which airlines.

Thai Airways does not.

Thanks

Hello all,

My wife and I have one way tickets to Bangkok from the UK next week we will be entering Thailand under a 30 day visa exemption, we will be travelling north through Thailand to the Laos border, not sure how long we will take to get there - Around 10 days I guess but it is flexible.

We will be travelling light and haven't booked onward travel, we intend to take the slow boat when we get into Laos from Huay Xai onwards.

There is no option to buy a ticket for the public boat online which would prove onward travel, does this pose a risk for boarding the flight with Thai Airways? If so, any advice on workarounds?

Before posting I have read various posts and will phone the Thai Airways next week to enquire further.

I am looking at onwardflights.com as a backup if that is actually required.

Any advice very much appreciated.

Thai airways TG917, LHR/BKK@ (21.30) hrs flight cancelled,12/4/24 that’s going to have knock on effects,. Been running like clockwork for ages, shame,I wonder if EVA will take some of the passengers, if so EVA (BRO68) is going to be chocka,.(update) the thai jet is still parked on stand opposite the terminal)

I am looking at connecting flights for next February 2025. BKK to KBV........reviews for operating airlines are really quite worrying! Can anyone recommend a reliable airline for this journey. Price is not the main concern-reliability MOST important.
