Applied for my short term visa from Los Angeles Embassy.  Turn around 2 days.

Some website said I should  allow for 15 business days. 

I booked everything 4 weeks from now.

I do not have Thai Pass, website said wait 2 weeks before travel.

Should I pay to reschedule flights, hotels, etc and try to catch a plane 1 or 2 weeks from now?

Pros?

Cons?

Summary so far

The user is concerned about whether to reschedule their travel plans to Thailand due to uncertainty regarding their short term visa application's processing time. While they've received information suggesting a quick turnaround of 2 days, other sources recommend allowing for up to 15 business days. The user does not have the Thai Pass and is advised to wait at least 2 weeks before traveling. Comments from the community suggest maintaining current travel arrangements to avoid complications with the visa, while considering flexible bookings in case of delays.

Keep everything the way it is. Don't take a chance messing up your visa. Thailand is not going anywhere. If all, an extra couple weeks the curfew might move back to 10-11
