What is the current experience with queues at Chaeng Wattana for visa extensions?
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.

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.
