Hi all. FYI, at Bangkok Immigration today, 4 April, they stayed open past normal hours to accommodate the large crowd. My husband went this morning for extension on his research visa, there were a lot of people, his ticket had a very high number. By 4:30pm, the normal closing time, there were still 100 people ahead of him. Long story short - they stayed open late. He got his visa done by 6:30pm, & they were still open. Can’t say if this will continue until Songkran, but just a heads up. And don't forget they're closed on Thursday, 6 April.
(My thought was that they wouldn’t just keep handing out tickets & make you sit there all day if they were unable to to complete them. Seems that was the case.)
