TLDR : Answer Summary
The immigration office in Phuket Town will be open on December 25th, as Christmas is not recognized as a public holiday in Thailand. Despite the presence of Christmas decorations, all immigration offices in Thailand remain operational during this date.

Christmas is not a public holiday in Thailand. Immigration and other government offices will be open tomorrow.

If it is a public holiday in Thailand all Immigration Offices are closed. Now we get the question for every individual office. To make it clear: There is NO official holiday in Thailand for Christmas and ALL Immigration offices are open in Thailand.

I don't think it's a totally unreasonable question, especially given the Christmas trees all over the place (including in immigration!) It's a public holiday in many neighboring countries such as Malaysia, Myanmar, Singapore, Indonesia, the Philippines and Brunei. So most of ASEAN. It's a public holiday in India and Sri Lanka as well. Not here. But hardly a crazy question either, it's a holiday in a lot of places.

Christmas is not a party or public or national holiday in Thailand. It is a tourist thing.
