At 1635 Sunday 18th it took less than 25 minutes from arrival at airport to sitting in Burger King! It was good to see that they have introduced the new queuing system that stops people standing three and four abreast and switching lines. Simple but effective!

I was impressed also. I got to the airport at 2pm, 4 hours ahead of departure time and had to keep busy for 3 and a half hours after getting through immigration...

That's all not the problem,if  I travel to other countries like UAE,Malaysia,Singapore or back to Europe,the passport control takes 1-2minutes per person,sometimes less than that,here in Thailand it takes 3-5 min.i think Thai immigration officers are afraid to make a mistake,or maybe their computer is outdated

my experience going through outbound immigration 5-6 times these past 4 months or so... on monday mornings around 7am, the fast officers have been doing about 40seconds per passenger and the slow ones around a minute, and rarely beyond 2 minutes.  yes, i did time these and no, i didn't have anything better to do in the line Posted Image
i agree it can feel like 3-5min per passenger or maybe officers are actually slower later in the day...
