C.I.Q: What is it and how does it work with immigration in Thailand?

CUSTOMS, IMMIGRATION & QUARANTINE..CIQ

It allows faster entry to Thailand via the smaller INTERNATIONAL status airports such as Phuket, Hat Yai, Krabi, Ko Samui, Udon Thani, Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai.

Say, I am travelling from London to Udon Thani. My baggage would go through the UDON, not Bangkok as with other airports. Udon is categorised as INTERNATIONAL so can do the visa check, immigration and quarantine things, which means no queuing in Bangkok to get bags and check in again.

CIQ is only available for certain flights and destinations.
