    Theft at the new bangkok airport

    By Anonymous, Created on: 17/04/2007, Last updated on: 15/10/2008

    » People pretending to be security guards who pat your body down while another searches your carry-on luggage. I discovered this when they asked me to give them my bag for security...and then realized they had no badges and reched my bag before they opened it. I became quite loud in my objections...

    • Anonymous commented : SHAME ON SUVARNABHUMI ! There is a new comment on the post "Robbed Redux: Sticky Fingers at Suvarnabhumi Airport, Part 2". http://www.uncorneredmarket.com/2008/02/robbed-redux-sticky-fingers-suvarnabhumi-airport/ Author: Bruce Comment: Hi guys. We were also robbed at BKK airport while in transit from Krabi to Chiang Mai. With us though the things were taken from our checked-in case. The attitude of Airports of Thailand was grossly unprofressional and a disgrace to Thailand. We followed it up to the max - a police report, a report to the airline, letters to the Bangkok Post and the Nation as well as to the office of the tourism ministry. The airline let is be known that they felt the items were lifted by an employee of a contractor company that moves luggage around the airport (company name provided). Only AOT could investigate however and they would not provide contact details for the company in question. I am sure this happens at BKK MANY MANY times. Trying to contact anyone in AOT is a sick joke, they make it as hard as they can for you to reach them and then ignore you when you find some contact details. Just to let them know the depth of my displeasure I emailed them once a week for about 3 months afterwards. They finally answered and said they had referred my details to the lost property department. Completely unacceptable! Shame!

    Rude immigration staff

    By ChiefSealth, Created on: 27/04/2009, Last updated on: 19/08/2010

    » Is it just me or have you also notice how rude and disgruntled the Thai immigration staff seems to be at BKK? I thought it was just a fluke my first visit but now I've experienced very unfriendly and rude staff multiple times entering and exiting Thailand. And before anyone asks all of my forms and...

    • pachangamac042 commented : TiT, no idea what obsessions do Thais have with putting departing foreigners behind bars. In many countries, this foreigner would have been allowed to leave the country and depending on the charges, he could end up blacklisted. 3 weeks in jail for “offending” an officer and 500 Bath fine. Do the authorities really not realize how silly they are and what damage they do to the country? Regarding the unfriendly staff at immigration, well, after entering Thailand on more then 20 occasions I fully confirm this statement. But on the other hand, can anybody imagine having to do a boring job like stamping passports all day long? I am not sure, I would be cheered up too much. When I heard first, that new immigration officers were instructed to smile to entering and leaving guests at Suvarnabhumi airport, I thought, what a great idea. Unfortunately, it seems that the immigration people have never been told about the new immigration guidelines. But then again, the unfriendly immigration folks are a perfect window to Thailand and to what you will experience once you clear customs. My suggestion to AoT, bring the PAD tugs with their ladyboy Ramwong dancers back to the airports. That could loosen up the whole immigration hassle.
