Hello All,

I went to immigration in Chiang Mai today for the final extension of my education visa. All went well but it was packed, I am assuming due to the holiday coming up on Monday. I believe they announced they are opening early tomorrow to accommodate the excess.

Just wanted to drop the update in case anyone is heading that way tomorrow. I got there at 12:30 and left at 4:30😱

Pro tip: order Food Panda once the queue is about 15-20 numbers away from yours and dinner is served just before you are ready to leave 😂

(Food Panda doesn't delivery to my part of town so I have to get creative 😂)

Enjoy the holiday weekend ❣️
