How easy is it to get a Work Permit and visa extension on a Non-Imm B (BOI) in Chiang Mai?

For all the grumbling about work permits and immigration thought I'd share how easy it is to get a Work Permit and visa extension processed on a Non-Imm B (BOI) in Chiang Mai.

Arrive in Chiang Mai Work Permit office at 8:57, have to take number (No. 1 :) ) called up at 9am, walk out with work permit at 9:15 am. Note - it's the new digital work permit, no book issued. The longest part was them booting up the computer to process it.

Drive to the literal other side of town. Arrive Promenada at 9:40. Room 3. Called up at 9:45, picture, told to wait, called up again 10 mins later, drive out of Promenada before 10 a.m. with a 2 year extension.

If your paperwork is all ok, dead easy and for all the TR and ED visa extensions I've had over the years, a refreshing change at that :)
