TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is seeking information on obtaining a 30-day visa extension in Krabi, as their current visa is set to expire on January 4. They specifically want to know about the holiday closures of Thai immigration around this time. Comments suggest that extensions can be done quickly, even on the first attempt, and there are inquiries about the necessity of a TM30 for the extension.

I was in and out in 20 minutes for the extension - it was the Patong Office however on Beach Road. You can do all the photocopying there for a small fee. Get your ass in there this week and get it done.

As James asked, is this your first extension? If so it should be effortless wherever you are so I wouldn't wait.
