Is it better to wait a day to extend my visa in Bangkok after the holiday closures?
Gotra do visa extension in BKK.. . Opens tomorrow but should be super busy so next day better right? Best to arrive very early?
Answer summary
Post-holiday, it is advisable to delay your visa extension in Bangkok by a day due to anticipated high traffic at the immigration office. Arriving early on a normal day can reduce wait times significantly, while the first day after closures could be extremely busy.

Yeah I made that mistake once after a long weekend, went in the afternoon too, took almost 5 hrs. On a normal day if you go in the morning (say before 9:30) it's 30 mins in and out.

Yes on both accounts. Tomorrow is the first day after 4 days closed so it'll probably be a nightmare. But always a good idea to arrive early if you didn't make an appointment
