I am at the immigration office now in Samut Prakan and there is a notice saying.  Moving back to the old immigration office.  From the 1st April. Hope this is only a April Fools joke as the office now is only 5 min away from me.

Yeah, I had the same experience when they moved to Chaeng Wattana. Going to Soi Suanplu was 10 minutes on my bicycle. Now it's a three hour trek. And another three hours to get back.

From memory the old place they were at next to the River was being refurbished and the place where they are now (above the market) was only temporary.

Yep, that's right, sadly Pak Nam was always further for me and often had problems finding a parking spot☹️

when we lived in Prah Samut Chedi the old office was just across the river.

2 klm drive, 6 baht boat, 5 minute walk. So I understand where you’re coming from.
