Try the visa on arrival queue at BKK (for Indians, Chinese and people from a few other countries - Russians, Saudis etc I think)

Massive. Fly in early morning and get into your taxi about two to three hours later .. because you first pay your visa fee, and then stand in line for immigration. The Thai officials at that visa on arrival counter are typically rude and abrupt (and/or almost likely hungover in the case of the guy I saw last time).

Far faster to get a multiple entry visa on arrival if you transit BKK often enough.

In that case, it would still be better for travellers to have a visa issued before travelling. Can you imagine the queues to purchase one if they introduced it for the likes of UK, US, Canada and the rest?
