We had a pleasant experience at Suvarnabhumi airport but Don Mueang Airport in Bangkok was a pain. For some reason the immigration officers were keen on seeing the 350USD per person in cash for Indians on that day, they would not accept bank or credit card statements. We were harassed for about 45mins before being given the visa. Also they were very fussy about the photo specifications. So be prepared to wait, if it is not your day.

 The other option is getting a visa in advance in India, along with the filled thai visa application form you will need
