i used to do in Phuket all the time and saved me loads of time. Bangkok is hit and miss. It saved me massively at Christmas but may last year it didn’t really save me anytime. Defo advise it for busy airports and busy travel times. Yeh it’s a lot quieter now than it was at Christmas that is for sure

not a waste of money at all. I arrived on 27th December and was through and had my baggage within 20 minutes of landing. My mate was over an hour and half in total. $30 is well worth it in my eyes. Im impatient and hate queuing

in 16 years of travelling to Thailand I’ve never taken one for an extension. God knows why I’ve never been asked then. I assumed when the hotel submits it online the immigration see that so no need 🤷‍♂️

I’ve never taken a TM30 to do an extension. Is this a new thing? The hotel does it when I’ve checked in so must be visible for then Immigration staff 🤷‍♂️

Is it an issue to have a return flight 89 days after arrival in Thailand with a 60-day visa exemption?

Jim ********

You could always book a throwaway ticket booked within the 60 days just incase you are asked. You could get the cheapest flight ticket or a bus ticket out of Thailand
