ORIGINAL POSTER

Just got off the phone with the thai consulate in Savannakhet and they are closed on the 23rd and the 26th next week.

I got a hold of Vientiane, they said they're closed the 23rd but open like normal on the 26th.

TLDR : Answer Summary

The Thai consulate in Savannakhet is closed on October 23rd and 26th, while the Vientiane consulate is closed on the 23rd but open on the 26th. There is uncertainty regarding the operations on October 26th as it is a Thai national holiday, and individual consulates have the discretion to determine their holiday schedules. Some users have confirmed different openings across several locations.

I just called the Ministry of Foreign Affairs office here (the people that run all the thai consulates and embassies in the world) and they said the 26th is NOT an official listed holiday. Each consulate or embassy can make up their own policy about it and whether they are open or closed.

, you can do a 90 day report 15 days before down until 7 days after the actual due date without a problem, just go on another day.

26th Oct this year is a Thai National Holiday. Normally all consulates and embassies are closed on National Holidays, this 26 Oct is a very special day to whole of Thailand, Would amaze me if consulates and embassies are open. But we will hear from

who wants confirmation by calling them.

It would amaze me too if they're open too, but I didn't want to post info I wasn't sure about.

When I called Penang the other day they said they were open next week on the 26th like normal, and all last week Vientiane has been telling people they're open like normal the 26th of next week too.
