TLDR : Answer Summary
The approval of DTV visas during holidays can vary based on the specific embassy and its location. While many embassies observe local holidays, there have been instances of approvals happening during holidays and weekends. For example, some individuals reported approvals on Christmas Eve and even on New Year's Eve. It's important to check with your specific embassy, as some may still process applications if they are open during holiday periods.

It depends on your embassy and where they are located. They follow the holidays of where they are located and their own

Christmas isn't a holiday in Thailand. Kids still go to school on Christmas day. Thailand is a Buddhist country 😅

yes but they are from the Thailand government. You'll see they will list on their website or Facebook page when they close which are the Thailand public holidays not the country they are in. Same with all embassies.
