TLDR : Answer Summary
The Thai embassy in Sydney is currently not responding to calls or emails primarily due to closures related to the Songkran festival, which is the Thai New Year. Community members suggest trying alternate communication methods such as Facebook or Line, and some note that email responses may take one to two days. There have been mentions of the embassy being open intermittently, as well as discussions about the reliability of communication compared to other embassies.

last public holiday was Monday although it wouldn't surprise me if the embassies decided to prolong theirs.

Normal for most embassies. See if they have a Facebook page and if the Facebook messages are active. If so try messaging them there.

I agree that many Thai embassies unfortunately do this, but why is this? They do not care?
