ORIGINAL POSTER
Until further notice, Chiang Mai immigration will close (stop letting people in) at 4PM now because of the adjusted bank hours. This includes 90-day reporting drive through, as well.

Please don’t show up at 3:45 to extend long visa or try for COVID-19 extension. Give yourself an hour for each.

TLDR : Answer Summary
Chiang Mai immigration now closes at 4PM due to changes in bank hours, which also affects the 90-day reporting process. It's advised to arrive early, as last-minute arrivals close to the new closing time may not be accommodated.

Because of bank hours? What does that mean?

. They only accept cash payments. They're making stacks of money at the moment, so they have to get it to the bank before it closes

. They need time to take their truckload of money to the bank each day before it closes 😉
