Confirm long queue The banner sure cannot fit all the names of the 33 countries, tourists from countries not on the list confirm go try also, then jam up the queue, then need go manual counter. Impossible for the staffs to check 1by1 at the start of the queue.

why cannot fit? Last time sg 50-60 also can list all.

This is the one will jam up e gate

Returning foreign visitors with existing records in the Thai immigration database will be eligible to use the automated gates immediately, while first-time arrivals must still complete initial biometric data capture at manned immigration desks.

Sorry don't mind my comments about the banner, seems like they got newer egate. Don't know if they will replace the current white egate that are newly installed.

They also need to think for their citizens since the egates share the same queue. Sure very chaotic even before entering the immigration hall.

See my September trip, if really cock up then I will fly to dmk subsequently since lesser pple there nowadays. But need to pay for grab instead of taking the airport rail link

dmk also have airport buses and also train to Krung thep <something>, if you are going to train station. Fly DMK can also go straight to Ayuthaya even

Well, 1) they didn't state which 33 countries. 2) the gates are there but they can still direct you to the manual Q if they want.

How many times were you directed to manual Q even if you tell or show your Singapore passport?

"The Immigration Bureau needs to be cautious in selecting nationalities because the Auto Gate system only checks documents and biometrics, but cannot detect facial expressions and body language like a human. Therefore, it only allows entry from low-risk countries and only to tourists who have visited Thailand at least twice, as the system already has their biometric data. First-time visitors still have to queue and go through immigration as usual."

Basically everyone will try to queue at the auto gate even if not in the list Even if on the list, they might be first time visitors, confirm stuck liao lol
