Need to know
Is there an official fast track at Thai airports?
Not one you can buy. Thai airport immigration has no paid fast-track service with any company. The commander of Immigration Division 2 said so in March 2024. So we never sell a way to skip the queue. What we offer is a private meet-and-assist service that we arrange.
The priority lane on arrival is for disabled passengers and their carers, small children with their parents, and the elderly. Diplomatic and official passport holders may use it, as may Thailand Privilege, Thai long-stay and APEC card holders. Airlines also run premium lanes for their own premium passengers.
Some websites call themselves "official AOT". Airports of Thailand's own website is airportthai.co.th, and we found no official AOT fast-track service when we checked in October 2026.
What our meet-and-assist includes
Meet-and-assist means a host who stays with you from arrival to your car. Airports of Thailand says only people with an airport security permit may enter restricted areas. So the meeting point depends on the airport and your flight. We confirm it in writing before you travel.
Arrival. The host meets you, helps you through immigration and baggage, and a porter takes your bags to the car. The host waits if your flight lands late. At Suvarnabhumi and Don Mueang, basic meet-and-assist is ฿2,400 per person. A full-service arrival is from ฿6,500, or from ฿9,500 with a car, VAT included. Phuket and Samui are quoted to your plan.
Departure. The host meets you at the kerb, helps with check-in and walks you to passport control.
Connection. A host helps you from one flight to the next.
Where airport rules allow, the host meets you at the gate; otherwise the host waits in the arrivals hall. Tanner confirms the meeting point in your written quote.
More detail
Airports we cover
We arrange meet-and-assist at Suvarnabhumi and Don Mueang in Bangkok, and at Phuket and Koh Samui with a little more notice. Pattaya has no main airport of its own. Most international flights land at Suvarnabhumi. Our host meets you there, and a private van drives you on, about 1 h 55 by road (checked November 2026).
U-Tapao has few flights, but the same service works there, and Pattaya is about 40 minutes away. Each airport has its own page: Suvarnabhumi, Don Mueang and Phuket.
At other airports, including Chiang Mai and Krabi, we arrange it with enough notice, because we have staff in all the main towns.
Groups and business events
Large business-event groups have one official option. The Thailand Convention and Exhibition Bureau (TCEB) can arrange a MICE Lane for groups of at least 30 international delegates staying two nights or more. You apply at least 90 days ahead, and we prepare the request with your event planner.
How it works
Booking the arrival service takes four short steps. Send us the flight number, each guest's name and nationality, and the class of travel. We confirm in writing with your host's name. On the day, the host waits with a name sign, and your car or van is ready at the kerb.
Book at least 2 days ahead, and a week ahead for Songkran and December.
Example plan: a family of five lands at Suvarnabhumi on a night flight. Our host meets them in the arrivals hall and uses the priority lane, because the grandparents qualify. The host keeps the group together through baggage, and a van waits at the kerb for the drive to the hotel.
Why book with us
VIP Luxury Services has planned arrivals in Thailand since 2008. One planner handles the host, the car and the hotel, for one guest or a delegation of 30. Our Thai team knows each airport's rules, and we tell you plainly what they allow, so you know what to expect on the day. Prices include 7% VAT, all on one invoice.
We get back to you right away.
Plan it with Tanner
Send Tanner your flight details and the names of everyone travelling. He books the host, the car and your first night, and adds a VIP arrival plan for private jets or larger groups. Tanner books the host and the car for your next arrival in Thailand.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a fast track through immigration at Bangkok airport?
No. Thai immigration sells no paid fast track through any company. Our host walks you through and uses the priority lane only where your ticket or status allows it.
Who can use the priority lane at Thai immigration?
Disabled passengers and their carers, small children with parents and the elderly. Also diplomatic and official passport holders, and Thailand Privilege, long-stay and APEC card holders, the Immigration Bureau says.
How far ahead should I book meet-and-assist?
Book at least 2 days before you fly. For Songkran in April and for December, book a week ahead. Send the flight details as soon as you have them, and we hold the host.
Does the host meet me at the aircraft door?
Airports of Thailand admits only people with an airport security permit to restricted areas. We confirm your exact meeting point in writing when you book, based on the airport and your flight.
Can you meet us in Phuket or Koh Samui?
Yes. We arrange meet-and-assist at Phuket and Koh Samui as well as Bangkok's two airports. A car or van waits for the drive to your hotel or villa.
