ORIGINAL POSTER
Chaeng Wattana was absolutely heaving yesterday. Got there at 10am and didn’t leave until 6.30pm. Almost 200 people ahead of me for an Ed Visa extension. Try to wait until we’ll after Songkran if you can.

The comments further emphasize the busyness of the office and suggest arriving early to avoid long waits. They also note the impact of the Songkran holiday on immigration services.

Hmm, I was there at 5am this morning and it wasn't too bad..

I was done doing what I needed before they even officially opened..

They let us in at 8:15 :O

As this is nothing new, Bangkok Immigration is busy. Move out of Bangkok to a rural place and you will find an Immigration Office with less foreigners and no queues.

Yes, 10am is really late. People queue there from 5am every day
