New Checkin procedure for DMK?
I was just informed by a work colleague that he had to checkin in for a South-Bound NOK air flight from terminal 2 (this after waiting in line at terminal 1). There was no signage identifying this change. Anyone else have further information?

As expected, the switch could have been handled better.

Semi-soft (half-baked) opening on 24 Dec. Maybe full opening in February?
Some/many/most all domestic services have/will move there.

As others have said, domestic flights now use Terminal 2. Most domestic airline websites highlight this change (starting Dec 24).
I checked in on a domestic flight a few days after Dec 24 and Terminal 2 was full with long lines so appears some/many people know this as well.

We had a late morning flight on Dec 24 and did the walk of shame over to T2. It actually was not bad so long as you weren't flying FD or SL who's lines were absurd and blocking progress further down the terminal to the DD counters.
One very odd thing was, after checking in and checking a bag, we were told to proceed to 'baggage handling office' immediately behind the checkin area where some would yell out, in Thai, 'green bag phuket ok'. 'Black bag Ubon ok.' etc etc. It's an entirely asinine system.

Happened to me too. As I understand it, that's where they scan your bags before manually loading onto a pushcart for transport to aircraft hold. The reason they request your presence is in case something comes up in the scan. After they put your bag onto cart, you're good to go. At least, that's what I understood from speaking to the check-in agent - I speak OK, but not native-level, Thai.
