Tomorrow (Wednesday) is the last day immigration is open this week. Make sure you go early if you need something before next week, it'll probably be busy tomorrow.

It will DEFINITELY be busy next Monday.

TLDR : Answer Summary
The post emphasizes the importance of visiting the immigration office in Thailand early, especially since tomorrow is the last day it's open this week, and it will be busy next Monday. A commenter reminds others that the office closes for lunch from noon to 1pm, while another inquires if this information pertains to all immigration branches or specifically to Bangkok.

is it a rule in Thailand? We were certainly surprised by it at our first 90 day check in person!

there's no such thing as a rule "in Thailand" because every department and even every office gets to make their own rules.

So while most immigration offices do take an hour off every day for lunch, I know the Department of Land Transport office in Chiang Mai does not. But I can't say if that's the same at every DLT office because maybe some have a different policy.

It's like this everywhere in Thailand for example to get a bank account, the required documents might be different at different branches of the same bank in the same city, because the manager at that branch can add their own rules and policies.
