TLDR : Answer Summary
The discussion clarifies that December 5th is both Thai National Day and Father's Day, leading to a complete shutdown of embassy operations. As a result, no visa applications or approvals will be processed on this holiday, and individuals are advised to expect delays until the next business day.

No, of course not! As December 5th is Thai National Day.

No Embassy or Consulate does visa work on their own National Day.

Anonymous participant he taught me that people that talk tough and don’t show their faces are just sad little cowards, but of course you would know that as you have to live with it. 🥲

Go on, keep crying that your visa isn’t being approved on a holiday, just for the amusement of this group.
