@Muchlis *******

No you show your boarding pass to airport security or airline staff should they need to see it. Unless the Immigration officers sitting at their desks ASKS you for it - it's not a part of the immigration paperwork required. You are confusing security people (the people there to screen you through customs) with the person you hand your passport and any applicable visa documentation to.

Mitchell Trott which visa were you travelling into Thailand on? I've never been asked for my boarding pass from immigration. I have from airport security and airlines, never immigration though.

Fraser McIlwraith If you say so lol but I have literally never needed it, while I may fly business class - I'm not a self entitled type so don't pay attention to these sorts of things. In saying that - showing someone a ticket at the entrance of customs and immigration doesn't mean your IO is going to know that you queued up to fast track versus cattle class since the lines normally merge so they don't see that ticket nor know which queue you were in. When you travel light like I do, the rest of you lot are all waiting on baggage while I am sailing through before the crowds hit. It's amazingly easy and quick.

Jo Clemente since I live in Thailand (on a retirement visa) and always get my re-entry stamp prior to travelling overseas, I've never had a flight disembarkment / customs clearance that took more than a few minutes. It helps that I travel with minimal luggage - usually just carry on. It probably does help that I do fly business class, as we are normally in the first 10 or so people to get off the plane, but that still doesn't change the fact that none of the IOs processing me asked to see my boarding pass of the plane I just got off, nor would they know where I sat on the plane lol.

Alan Rothwell please show me where I said that I would show immigration my boarding pass. I'll wait....

Michael Lucken I show my ticket to the AIRLINE - not immigration. Immigration doesn't care what part of the plane you sit in when you arrive.

The essential documentation you are required to show at immigration is:

Essential Documentation Checklist (Effective May 1, 2025):

Passport: Must be valid for at least six months beyond your arrival date.

Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC): The new mandatory digital replacement for the paper TM6 card, obtainable at {Link: official Thailand Digital Arrival Card website }. Print or save the confirmation QR code.

Visa: A visa stamp in your passport or proof of visa-exempt status (check requirements based on your nationality).

Proof of Accommodation: A booking confirmation (hotel, apartment address, or letter from a host).

Proof of Onward/Return Ticket: Proof that you intend to leave the country within the allowed time. Please note this is not for the plane you just flew in on - it is for your outgoing flight.

Proof of Sufficient Funds: (Less common, but possible) Immigration may request evidence of at least 10,000–20,000 THB to support your stay.

And LOL at the "You have obviously never flown BC" that's hilarious.

TaupeShark6978 for visitors - yes - they want to see your return flight - those that have proper visa's they rarely, if ever, do. It's to see if you have the risk of over staying your visa, and the need for this is shown by the amount of people who try to rort the system and live here on visitor visas rather than obtaining the correct type. .

Steve Woelki I've never noticed the sign and of course I would supply it if asked - but I have never been asked to.

Kevin Dunne not when you already have the appropriate visa stamp and re-entry in your passport.

Alan Rothwell I've never needed fast track since I travel with only carry on luggage most times. And I always fly business, but how would the IO know that if they never see the ticket? It's not something they ask for and the smart traveller only supplies the required documents to avoid confusion.
