The area that gets squared off I guess near Gate D4 on Level 2 was no longer available (even though I have seen this counter before on previous occasions). At this visa on application counter, you would connect right into regular immigration counters (only for visa on arrival people - think of the setup at Bali airport - exactly the same) and you could not turn back. Unless the visa on application counter at Gate D4 is still around, I am just not sure how you can get visa on arrival, go into transit immigration at BKK, and connect onto domestic flights. Anyone ?

I remember seeing the VOA area near D4 in the past, but if you say it's no longer there then I'll defer to you.

There's really no difference in going through the regular immigration lines and then going upstairs to Floor 4 and heading back through security. You'll wind up in the same place though it might add a few more minutes.
