Sanook reported that queues at the THAI check-in at Suvarnabhumi  were so serious that even getting to the airport three hours ahead of time might not be enough. 

 

They had a "viral" video that showed the full extent of the misery facing outbound travellers as the line stretched all the way around the airport to the main doors. 

 

It was posted on Facebook by Fah Walaiphan a CEO.

 

She posted that there were just not enough staff present and the situation was serious despite arriving two and a half hours ahead of her flight.

 

Staff said there were 1,000 people waiting. 

 

Fah advised arriving five hours ahead of time.

 

She said she had a migraine for hours due to the stress even though she eventually managed to board her flight.
