TLDR : Answer Summary
A user inquired about the processing time for the Thailand Special Tourist Visa (STV) after applying. Responses indicate that the visa system is currently down, causing delays, with some users reporting processing times over a month in the past. There is also discussion about the local situation in Thailand, suggesting potential reasons for reconsideration of travel plans.

Everyone has their reasons for being here at this time, but I suggest waiting until sometime next year.

I've been in Samui the whole time and contrary to what others say, it's been a sort of hell. Island is devastated. Government showing true colors of greed, so forth and so forth.

Go to Mexico or Greece.

In that time, hopefully Thailand will have its head out of its ass.

We are going to see our son and wife who we haven't seen for almost two years - we aren't going on holiday. We usually go every year for four months - We have just returned from Greece where it is now closed down for the winter.

Took me more then a month to get the paperwork but I guess that is not what you mean.
