TLDR : Answer Summary
The process for a 30-day visa extension at the Chiang Mai immigration office typically takes about 3 hours on a less busy day, according to one user. However, it can take all day if the office is crowded, so arriving early in the morning is advised. It’s also worth noting that external factors, such as flooding, may affect access to the immigration office.

It can take all day depending on how busy it is. Go early in the morning and take a ticket

I think you get mixed up with Chiang Rai. No flooding in CM city. In CM province only 3 hours drive north in Mae Ai district. The Kok river has high water.
