Why does extending an education visa at Changwattana take a whole day?
As a word of advice, if you plan on extending your education visa at Changwattana, you better plan to lose your entire day. It took me the better part of 8 hours today. Thankfully there was a medicinal massage shop at b1 to help pass the time.
Answer summary
Extending an education visa at Changwattana can be a lengthy process, often taking most of the day, as experienced by a user who spent about 8 hours there. The wait may be longer after a National Holiday, but there are facilities like massage shops nearby to help pass the time.

OPYeah I assumed this was also a contributing factor to the long queue. The government workers didn't break in the afternoon and I'm pretty sure they stayed at the office until at least 9 pm. I left at 745 and there was a minimum of 50-70 people behind me, possibly more.

At least there's a happy ending to this story
