Yes. Use e-gate. Don’t bother to queue.

Yes, most importantly don't have to face immigration oficers, don't mind waiting for luggage.

When I land in BKK, I ask where is the e-gate, the staff point to the manual Q lol. Anyway, the Q is quite fast. After clear, my luggage haven't come out. I still got time to change sim card

hanor, actually when i was heading to the custom, i saw two lanes, one is the crowd one the other is a thai lady holding a signboard shows "thai", so i skip that, then went to the crowd lane

but after 2nd thought i remember you mentioned towards the right, so i approached the lady there and told her i singapore passport, and she let me go through.. then i just blur blur went to the thai lane, then again i was directed to sg/hk lane.. which only allocated two lanes nia but good enough

Yes, exactly, they have the lanes but do not actively promote so usually nobody will know.
Once use liao, next time can go and save time dealing with the officers.

I think the reason why they refer us to manual counter is because if it is a new passport and has not been used to enter Thailand before, the machine cannot process our immigration entry. The egate is available for HK people too.

I just find it weird we have to click on the screen to apply for entry, unlike other countries where we typically scan our passport, enter the gate, scan our biometrics then move off.

Then should at identify and direct accordingly. Now they just pushing all to manual counters. lol

Well, that's the Thai way of gettings things done. Nothing new if one knows how Thailand is.
