Mate check in online if you only have carry on baggage thus negating the check in counter. Print off your boarding pass before arrival at airport. On arrival at airport head thru security check then straight to your gate and wait for your boarding announcement. I do this whenever I fly.
Thailand is screaming out for/begging tourists expats and the like to come come come! Do you really think they will tax us! Never gona happen. They are pi**ing in the wind. Expats would depart in droves..myself included.
That would be nice however we get to tick a box on application ( unless that's changed in the last 12 months ) from memory single entry 60 bucks Tick or Multi entry 200 bucks Tick.
