BKK immigration warnings

[Scarlett]

What has precipitated this change?

Are the border agents in a go slow for industrial action?
New processing system?
New requirements for arrival (more biodata being collected)?

I’ve had BKK take up to 30 mins in the past (over last 20 years) but this sounds like something has fundamentally changed.

Fewer manual lanes as e-gates rolled out.
No more business/first class lanes.
More passengers overall.
More passengers arriving similar times.

I recall a couple of years ago, the airport stopped biz/first class arrivals, and was promptly chastised by the chairman at TG.
Was back online within the day.
