@David *******

like i said i have no idea how long the queues usually are here, and it seems pretty busy here for not being high season. Why the 'is this serious?' remark? I knew the yellow shirts provided this service for few hundred bath because i had read about it, but when i asked for it all the guy gave me was a sales pitch for the 4000 all inclusive service, hence my question. Knowing more about the value they actually provide also gives people more bargaining power to negotiate.

that's true, bypassing the queue is probably the most value, but i have no idea how long this generally takes. In bangkok it did take me a few hours :(

@Martin ********

2100 seems like a lot to me for 15 minutes of paperwork and a picture.

@Pete ******

thanks for confirming! It's what i suspected.

@Brandon ***********

but does the processing of the TM30 at immigration cost anything? If not i will save 2100 baht (minus the photocopy, picture and time cost) by doing it myself right?
