At BKK Airport: Can I pay cash on arrival for fast-track/VIP lane entry directly to the officer, or does it need to be pre-booked in advance?

Note: No nonsense comments.

Does anyone know if there is a new process for entering Thailand, when coming into BKK airport from Cambodia, even if you have a visa? I usually book fast track (normal), just to skip the lines. However, was informed by the company that individuals arriving from Cambodia are no longer eligible, as they are required to utilize a “special” line.

Went through BKK airport today with the DTV visa, just been asked to show the visa. Lady did stamp 17/01/2025 so that had to be changed to 2026. Overall, it went well and pretty quick.

I just arrived at BKK airport. I showed the DTV E-VISA on phone, I did not print it out.

They said that’s OK.

No questions, stamped as seen on the photo. :)

A simple question: in summer 26 I plan to fly to bkk but not stay, only to fly onwards to Malaysia for a month, then back to Thailand and to ENTER for a month. So basically buy a return ticket London-bkk but transit on arrival. Do I have to go through Thai immigration on arrival, or stay in airport to catch flight to KL?

Re-entered Thailand BKK today. Absolutely no problems. All I was asked was where I’m going and I shrugged: “probably Phra Nakhon”, and that was it. 6 months stamp which extends beyond when I know I’ll be travelling abroad again.

Exited BKK to Singapore with new automated machines. This saves me a stamp. And I fly in and out Thailand 2 times a month so that’s 48 stamps per year. Now that will be halved so slowing down a passport replacement. I wonder if they will have these on entry?

Are there luggage lockers in BKK airport? Somewhere you can leave you crap for a few hours?

Where exactly is the Fast Track at BKK. Not the paid VIP just the one for seniors 70+.

My flight arrives at BKK and by the time I get through customs, it'll be about 11pm. Are there likely to be anywhere open to change money into Baht at the airport to pay for a taxi? Cheers.
