Why was the Chiang Mai Immigration Office unable to process other extensions recently?

@Tod ********

I'm guessing people are assuming the new covid extension program is a done deal and applying for Covid extensions now with the intent of applying for another one at the end of the year. If it actually does get approved then applying now gets you no less time than if you apply next week, right?

Yes, come back. We can't come back tomorrow so we will have to make the 3 hour (each way) drive on Monday. They would not make an exception for us.
