I thought any embassy was effectively

governed by the country of origin?

Thailand is working over Christmas.

Obviously this is a glitch as I have no repatriation flights details - yet to be nominated after 16th Dec and 22nd Dec 20 πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜’ so cannot do COE, ASQ, FTF, Covid, 72hrs in 1.5 days as no e-ticket.

Bonus - I've got the new visa and insurance 😷, down side visa will expire mid Feb.

Back to the future and groundhog day, start again January πŸ˜‚πŸ˜’πŸ˜’

But I am eternally grateful for the update.

TLDR : Answer Summary
The discussion focuses on the operational status of Thai embassies during holiday periods, particularly Christmas. Users share experiences regarding embassy operations, noting that embassies observe both their home country's holidays and those of the host country, often causing potential delays in processing. The original post mentions difficulties related to visa processing and repatriation flights, accompanied by a mix of humor and frustration.

Thai embassies, and all embassies for that matter, observe their own holidays, and the holidays of the country they are located in, as many of their workers are locals, not Thais.

They have holidays from country of origin and from the country they are in.
