What time should you arrive at Chang Watthana to get to the front of the queue?

Mike **********

After 24 years of many many

Trips to Thailand

In the early years

VERY traveler friendly

I am beginning to believe

The Thai government is really wanting to discourage easy frequent travel.

Basically send your money

But stay out of Thailand

It could be sooo easy

For them to expedite and super simplify visiting

But alas doesn’t seem so

Will my UK passport with an extended expiry date be accepted for re-entry to Thailand in 2025?

Mike **********

That’s interesting =

That in UK they add on the “residue”

I just renewed my passport

USA=

The new passport is good for 10 years from date of Issue — you start over fresh - my old one still had 9 months of validity.

Doesn’t make sense to add-on — since the World standard is 10 years
