scorecard Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Then you do the taxi Q at DM, often 1 to 2 hours and even more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPUBON Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Arrived on Jan 28th at midnight. The queue was full. 30 minutes later I was waiting to claim my luggage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pauleddy Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 1. I fly into there every 4-5 weeks. Since the last big hoo-ha at Xmas, it seems better. 30 minutes or so. 2. Don't queue with the tourists for a cab 2 hours + 50b more. Walk up 2 floors to departures and get some guy who is dropping off. Ignore the police. It's all a racket. Old hands have done this for donkeys'. Eddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starchild5 Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 I waited three hours, arrived on 10th feb ... i had single entry tourist visa, earlier, it took me literally 2 minutes to get the visa....now, its hellish....be prepared, its due to chinese new year, should be over by 18th of Feb, many new flights added which lands in the early morning. It was a nightmare....Chinese tourist, as usual jumping queue and even the number of immigration officers were just 50% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quinzinho Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Thanks for this thread. I'm flying in tomorrow and was very nervous about immigration queues.. seems I can have hope not having to stand there for hours. Taxi-wise the way to go is still crossing the road to the Amari hotel and fetch a cab over there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree: - Cross to Amari - Go up to departures level and grab a cab delivering folks for departure - normally no more than 1 to 2 minutes wait.

sukhumvitneon Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Took not more than 30 min. for me to get through immigration and customs off an Air Asia flight. The largest bottleneck will come from Chinese tourists who don't understand the difference between "visa on arrival" and "visa exempt" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amusements Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 I came in mid day on the 27th of March from Macau, and it took me 40 minutes to get through immigration (I was first to join the queue out of everyone on my flight). I have to give immigration staff credit, for taking the Chinese tour groups to separate booths that they set up on the fly, otherwise I could of missed my connection in the 2nd terminal.

In fact the taxi driver was waiting for me I walked out the door and straight into the taxi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should make a rule out of that and give priority to those who can proof a close connection. Or will it always work on a courtesy base?

jomtien99 Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 Arrived yesterday at Don Muang International at 07:30 - no queues at all at immigration, down the escalator and my bag was waiting. Go to take a taxi, no queues and lots of taxis waiting - incredible. This is a FIRST! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
