I was not aware at all of this interesting possibility at USM. But I believe it's pretty unique, isnt't it (and somewhat pretty strange also) ? Do other airports in SE Asia propose this ?
This can occur out of 6 airports in Thailand that have immigration/customs facilities. They are CEI, CNX, KBV, HDY, USM and HKT.
When arriving into BKK on an international flight and heading to one of the above airports you must go through immigration in BKK but get your bags and head through customs in the domestic airport. Upon arrival to the domestic destination you are segregated on the jet bridge; domestic pax to one carousel area and int pax to a completely separate one.
I don't know if any other SE Asia countries operate similarly.
