Nice airport! You should've used a train.... I don't know if you always do when there are metro or trains to the city from airport but I would suggest when you travel to any airport and has an train/metro to the city do it so instead of those expressive taxis. It's up to you, but for me it's nice to go metro/train to city instead of taxis unless if there was no train or metro to the city. :)
I would have considered the queue in front of immigration really short. Last time I came to BKK in January 2024 all this left/right/left/right.... ways were full of people, and the queue started even before it. Immigration took longer than one hour....
1. Taxi scams. Taxi drivers will lie about their meters being broken and quote you a higher rate. Tuk Tuk drivers will offer you a free or a very low-cost tour but they will stop at multiple jewelry shops where they are given a commission to get there. You don't have to buy but there you will be hard sold. 2. Jet Ski scams. If you don't examine your rental jet ski for damage before using it, the jet ski rental will make you pay for damage that was not caused by you. 3. Motorbike rentals. Same scam as the jet skis. Always look over the bike for any prior damage and take photos on your camera phone, otherwise, the rental shop will make you pay for any damage you did not cause. Never ever leave your passport with the rental shop! Instead, offer a larger security deposit in lieu of leaving your passport. If you do, there is a chance that it could be held hostage if they accuse you of damaging their motorbike. Also, you are more likely to be stopped by a cop since you're a foreigner and they will ask for ID. Lastly, when you go to return the motorbike, the rental shop could be closed and you will be without your passport until the shop opens! In Thailand, the open and closed hours printed on the door means nothing! Those are the big 3 scams in Thailand.
More than 20 years travelling/living in Thailand I never was scammed. Even not in a taxi (OK, during football World Championchip 2022 taxi from Nana to my flat in Khlongtan asked for a flat rate, but even that was not that bad {150 Baht] and it was not a scam as I could have said "No"). 2013 I was one week (!) in Vietnam. I was scammed in Hanoi by a taxi with manipulated metre, and in my hotel in Saigon my jacket was stolen by the laundry service. Vietnam = Scammerland.

Oooh how i miss BKK. Thank you for refreshing my memories ❤
The recorded "be careful messeage" from a women voice when you leave the moving escalator, thats the sound of Suvarnabhumi🙂. Love it.
Frrr i love it
"End of the walkway"...."Walk walk". 5555
Airport Rail Link is the go-to option for quality vs. price! Super good!
Thailand is my country I am from there

If you are alone and do not have a lot of luggage definately. If you arrive with two friends, taxi can even be cheaper.
Ok. :P
We are arriving 10/11 landing 455 am. So hopefully its not busy .
Hi. How long does it take from the plane to picking up your luggage? 1 or 2 hours? Or is it much quicker?
Have you go to Yangon?
How much was the taxi?

I would never do an international arrival into bangkok in January 😂
@@VirtCam Yes, but it was after my staying a couple of weeks in Europe, so I did not really have a choice whwn coming back to BKK.
Why don't you do a Report Business Class a350-900 SIA from BNE to Changi then onto BKK
Interesting route. I am considering an Australia trip actually
How long did it take you to go thru immigration?
25 minutes I would say

What types of scams?
Taxi scams were the worst also money snatching
