ATTENTION:

All the thai immigration offices in the country are closed tomorrow the 5th of Dec and next Monday the 11th of December.

Note: the borders do NOT close for holidays so they are open.

Plan accordingly :)

TLDR : Answer Summary
All Thai immigration offices are closed on December 5th and December 11th, 2017, while borders remain open during these holidays. The announcement highlights the influx of people at immigration offices, particularly at ChaengWattana, due to last-minute visa extensions.

Amazing how people wait until the last day to extend their visas instead of planning ahead and going a few days early...

Amazing how everyone has a myriad of reasons for the choices they make in their life.

As expected, ChaengWattana is a madhouse today
