Re: Flights to/from Thailand status, news, and updates

I arrived in Suvarnabhumi at 5:45pm on Tuesday and after quickly walking the 800m to immigration control, there were no queues at all. I had enough time to catch the bus to Hua Hin at 6:30pm, which had about 10 people on it.

You can view your cashback rewards on your Agoda website. You can also request the money there.

Re: Free expat national park passes

I made the registration for my son and his wife (they were just visiting me, not expats) for SAMROIYOD Park and they were able to get free entry upon showing their passport. It is important that it is only valid for 24 hours, then you will no longer be able to get a pass for the same park.

Re: Just HOW are folk going to get to the new rail station?

There is no train to Apiwat between 4:47 and 14:31, which isn't great for a trip to Bangkok.

Re: Flights to/from Thailand status, news, and updates

I arrived in Suvarnabhumi yesterday at 2:30pm and there was only a small queue at immigration. I went through the priority lane and was able to go straight to an officer. The bus to Hua Hin at 4pm was fully booked.

Re: Agoda hotel descriptions/prices warning

Sometimes there is a prize that is subject to cashback terms, which is a little annoying. If you use VPN you will get about the same price, sometimes even cheaper without cashback.

Re: The 10K Election Handout Farce

I wonder how they will check the 500,000 baht in the bank account. You could now withdraw the excess money and hoard it at home until you receive the 10,000 baht

Re: Minivan bus station to Kanchanaburi?

Yes, but I wouldn't rely on it since it's 3 years old. I know that the minivan to Ekkamai changed the starting point to Blueport.

Re: Agoda hotel descriptions warning

I often use Google Maps to find a hotel and 90% of the time Agoda is the cheapest. You can also go to Tripadvisor and enter a hotel name. Then Agoda is also the cheapest, often cheaper than using Google Maps. You will also get a different price if you go directly to the Agoda website and a different...

Forget it. I have been to other provinces and even other countries so many times and never reported anything.

Re: Thailand tourism situation

On August 27th I had a flight from BKK at 6pm. I have never seen so many people in the immigration queue, even before Covid. It took me an hour from the beginning of baggage control to the end of passport control. Only every second counter was occupied. Luckily I arrived at the airport early enough.
