cheaper to laminate than to drive to a printers every single time you fly out. Especially for people like me who fly out every 2 to 4 weeks. Yes I can print a few. But there is a possibility of forgetting. I do not use the same bag everytime I fly but I use the same passport.
do you use your phone on the way to the airport? Or do you use your phone during the 2 hours wait at the airport? Do you walk from your arrival gate to the passport area? Do you have to wait to queue to get your passport chopped? So many last minute opportunities to fill in the form till the very last minute. Don't have to worry. If no one is in the queue just stand at the side to fill in before getting your passport choped to enter thailand. Is that last minute enough foe you?
