TLDR : Answer Summary
Yes, local Thai immigration offices will be open on Christmas Day (December 25) and December 26, 2025. Christmas is not recognized as a public holiday in Thailand, so immigration services will continue as normal.

Unfortunately, Thailand doesn't have a Christian culture and education....

If that were the case, it would be a more humane country.
