I have visited Thailand 3 times in last 2 months, no such thing happened with me .. Immigration was super smooth, not a single question asked by immigration officer, and all the 3 times I was out of the airport in less than 5 minutes.
I recently went to Phuket and faced the same situation. The immigration staff asked me to pay 200 baht for Fastrack immigration. Since I was getting late had to pay it.
Thanks Aseem Ji for the update. I reckon that it’s a lost battle if those immigration skunks ask for 200 thb. In my experience, never in my last 12 years of traveling to Thailand I have seen Thai immigration officials dealing with Indian passengers politely. Any question or retort is taken as an insult. Also, this losing face thing among Thais is quite a serious issue and counter questioning immigration officials may make them appear as cheats, which in turn can back fire to Indian travelers. I guess there’s no point in spoiling your holiday or risking deportation for just 200 thb. Give them and move on. BTW, Thailand is no longer what it used to be.
Exactly I totally agree. Paying a small amount like 200 THB for such situations is insignificant when considering the overall experience of traveling abroad.
I have returned from Phuket Yesterday and when I landed last week in Phuket they did ask if you want to skip the long queue and pay 200 Bhat. It’s not that they are targeting only Indian Travellers, it’s for anyone who is willing to pay extra to skip the queue. They did not force anyone, it’s upto the individual if they want to pay extra to skip the long queue.
Hi. I am the one who wrote the comment and thanks for highlighting it. I Can guarantee you that this scam exists because I've travelling to Thailand 6 times in this year itself. Your observation that Indian is exempted is 100% True but the reality on the ground is completely different. There are more than 5 officers who start shouting 'Indians Chalo Chalo'. I personally talked to a Visa immigration officer about it at the airport near the FastTrack entry and he pretended to not understand English, just saying 'Indian ahead'.
In 2022, during my trip to Kuala Lumpur, the boarding counter at Kolkata airport insisted on payments in Ringgit, refusing USD. Despite explaining that I had traveled to Malaysia before without this issue, they stuck to the rules are rules response. Many of us ended up paying hefty conversion fees.
I have a question about Vietnam. In my visa the intended entry and exit port is ho chi minh, does it mean that i have to only and only enter in this port or can i enter from some other airport.
it is not necessary to enter or leave through the specified ports. Check this video in the last segment we discussed that: ruclips.net/video/cKN8z6eKzBE/видео.html
Yes. I travelled few weeks ago and they asked me and other Indians also for 200 bhat. Its right that they ask you if you are Indian, if you say yes, then they say go to this side and all. And there is a counter where they ask for 200 bhat. I also paid one. I got shocked when they asked for money. But i gave them because a lot of Indians were there so i thought may be they are charging money. But i didn’t know that. And also i was travelling for the first time.
Kaise ho sir ji app..... Main anbi phykeet thaland aya hu. Iss se pehle hum 2 brother Singapore ka multi entry visa tha woh woh 28 November main expire hona tha...

Fir hmme via issue hua.30 days ka.... Same days we come singapore..... Singapore ne fir same days 30 days ka visa issue kiya..... Indonesia immigration corrupt
I was at Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport Last Week, Absolutely True They Not Allow Some People to enter in Immigration line, not only Indians many others Nationalities, they send them to express line for earn 200 Baht, but i am lucky they not stop me to enter direct Immigration line ❤
Yes it happen with me at survanabhoom airport they directly send us to fast track and asked 200 but they did not ask anything within 2 minutes welcome to thailand.
I am scared now, i will be travelling solo in January. I am again asking can you please let me know do i have to carry 10k baht for 1or 2 days visit in bkk?
No need to worry, travel normally everything is ok. Carry your requirements and go straight to the immigration. Carry some amount in THB and some in your cards
I am traveling to Bangkok from 7 th January to 10 th January I already paid for hotel room in advance so want to know at hotel for hotel roomkey they for deposit by credit card but I don't have any credit card or debit card than how I can pay to hotel please they don't accept cash ?
I've faced this happening at DMK airport more than at Suvarnabhumi. Secondly volume hi chahiye unko tabhi toh visa free de rahe hai na, phir q rona😂. I'll update again when I'll be traveling again at the year end.
Same happened with me in Tax refund. I repeatedly asked DMK airport people where can I get tax refund stamping they asked me to go in and after security check they mentioned that I had to get a stamp outside immigration resulted in loss of 3000 bhat.
Brother mere se last month 2000 bhatt manghee thee....lakin maine passport vapis le liyaa thaa...phr uskee thoraa agee main immigration thaa wahaa sab theek thaa
Never had this experience, neither have I seen such a thing happening. Nobody even instructs you to go to any other counter. You just stand in the normal queue and and your entry is stamped without any problem.
Hi Brother i also paid 200 bhat as they force u to pay the same and stick some sticky note on the passport and passport without that sticky note they send the tourist back to express line
I dont have the exact rate right now but you can try super rich they are reasonable. Or see this video and check comments under that. ruclips.net/video/nCbLFJCVM9k/видео.html
I have travelled 4 times and 3 times I paid 200 baht extra and one time they didn’t ask . Not only Indians I have seen other nations also. I could have choose not to pay but then they ask you questions and try to waste your time so if your time is important for you then I think personally I don’t have any problem in paying 200 baht extra
11 nov ko main gaya tha Mujhe se bhi jabardusti manga mujhe bajburi main Dena pada jub ki mere pas sare document tha 20k Thai bhat tha . Mujhe bola you have to pay nahi to main aap ko d boat kar dunga tab jakar Maine 200 diya
