ORIGINAL POSTERSo a friend went to immigration in Phuket today and they had a sign saying they are closed the whole week for Songkran???
TLDR : Answer Summary
A post by a user reveals that the immigration office in Phuket is closed for the Songkran holiday, leading to a discussion about holiday customs in Thailand. The comments include reactions to the closure, clarifications about the specific dates of closure across different regions, and some commentary on the rudeness exhibited by other users in response to the post.

This is the home page of Phuket Immigration which states 10-15 April, which indicates it will be open on Friday.

Why do people leave such rude and snarky comments? Even in my own country sometimes Iโm surprised when things are closed for holidays. Are folks this rude to foreigners/immigrants at home when they make a mistake or donโt understand? Sheesh.

Nicole Jackson yes! Don't forget ignorance

We get loads of mouthy people on here hiding behind their keyboards. They would never say it to ur face though.

โIn the USโ I was born and raised there and grew up and around immigrants and such and we did not bust balls. But then we were decent people. Ugh, these groups are full of weirdos.

In the US we call it "busting balls". Once you become an adult most people stop being offended by every little thing someone says. Oliver *************
