Arrived a few days ago with a visa - queued in the Thai passport line, and lo! got a 60 day permit !!
Qantas were terrible - 2 hour delay in NZ due to "sudden" notherly wind change, and consequential "redistribution of freight and baggage" on the 737 WLG-SYD. Missed the connection, but rebooked on Emirates flight the same night (good) and arrived in BKK 2 hours late but no baggage (despite assurance). Bags arrived 24 hours later... no compensation offered, though we had to buy underwear etc....
