you are an immigrant in Thailand, yet you don’t want immigrants on your own country? 😀

As a foreigner, you will have pretty much no rights in most Asian countries, all rights are reserved for citizens. You need to go to Europe

Yes, I saw officers asking elderly people to go to a different lane. But you should really ask for special assistance - someone will pick them up in a cart or even put in a wrap chair from the plane and take through immigration

What’s the point of comparing budget airline with legacy one? Their ticket price is also different

@Marc *******

ok, but I seriously doubt it would be the cheapest flight the OP is looking for. Everyone I know fly to BKK

There is no such thing. Flight prices are dynamic. Check them on Google flights. PS there are no flights to Pattaya, you fly to Bangkok and take a car/bus to Pattaya

Maybe fly to Malaysia and back next day?

I know someone who just went into a queue again and got to a different agent who didn’t ask her any outbound ticket at all. So many incompetent agents out there

@Jan *****************

it really depends on the agent and how experienced they are. Those working with the airlines for a while know that return ticket rule is not enforced by Thai immigration, while a new agent can just read off the list of requirements and is not familiar with different types of visas. It can also happen that one of their passenger was not permitted in Thailand by authorities and airline was fined and had to fly them back so now they are more cautious. As a rule, airlines are the ones checking all required documents including passport validity, visas, return tickets etc - before checkin
